What is the volume of this rectangular prism? 19 © MathTutorDVD.com The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism is 푉 = 푙푤ℎ where 푉 is the volume, 푙 is the length, ℎ is the height, and 푤 is the width. Therefore, 푉 = (3.8 cm ∙ 3.6 cm ∙ 4.1 cm) 푉 = (3.8 ∙ 3.6 ∙ 4.1) cm3 푉 = 56.088 cm3 Answer: 푉 = 56.088 cm3 11. What is the volume of this rectangular prism if 퐴퐵 = 7 cm, 퐵퐶 = 11 cm, and 퐶퐺 = 14 cm? The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism is 푉 = 푙푤ℎ where 푉 is the volume, 푙 is the length, ℎ is the height, and 푤 is the width. The question gives the length, width, and height. Therefore, 푉 = (11 cm ∙ 7 cm ∙ 14 cm) 푉 = (11 ∙ 7 ∙ 14) cm3 푉 = 1078 cm3 Answer: 1078 cm3 20 © MathTutorDVD.com 12. What is the volume of this triangular prism? Calculate the volume of a triangular prism by calculating the area of the base and multiplying that area by the length of the prism. 1 The formula for area of the bases is the area of a triangle. The formula is 퐵 = 푏ℎ 2 where 퐵 is the area of the base, 푏 is the length of the base of the triangle, and ℎ is the height of the triangle. The base is a right triangle, so the legs are the base and the height. Therefore, 1 퐵 = ( ∙ 6 m ∙ 6 m) 2 1 퐵 = ( ∙ 6 ∙ 8) m2 2 퐵 = 24 m2 Now multiply the area of the base by the length of the prism to find the volume. 푉 = 24 m2 ∙ 16 m 푉 = (24 ∙ 16) m2 ∙ m 푉 = 384 m3 Answer: 384 m3 21 © MathTutorDVD.com 13. What is the volume of this heptagonal prism if the area of the base is 140 mm2? Calculate the volume of a heptagonal prism by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the prism. The area of the bases is given as 140 mm2.
