Question

what is the volume? 18.8 yd 12.7 yd 11.7 yd cubic yards

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the volume formula for a rectangular prism

The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism is given by \( V = l\times w\times h \), where \( l \) is the length, \( w \) is the width, and \( h \) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Here, \( l = 12.7\) yd, \( w = 11.7\) yd, and \( h = 18.8\) yd. So \( V=12.7\times11.7\times18.8\).
First, calculate \( 12.7\times11.7 = 148.59\).
Then, calculate \( 148.59\times18.8\).
\(148.59\times18.8=(150 - 1.41)\times18.8=150\times18.8-1.41\times18.8\).
\(150\times18.8 = 2820\), \(1.41\times18.8=(1 + 0.4+0.01)\times18.8=18.8+7.52 + 0.188=26.508\).
\(2820-26.508 = 2793.492\).

Answer:

\(2793.492\)
