a rectangular prism is 11 3/5 meters long, 9 meters wide and 12 1/2 meters high. what is the volume in cubic meters of the prism
The formula of the Volume of a Prism is:
V = Area of base × height of prism
= Length × Width × Height of prism
Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions
\(11\frac{3}{5}\) = \(\frac{58}{5}\)
\(12 \frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{25}{2}\)
V = \(\frac{58}{5}\) × 9 ×\(\frac{25}{2}\)
=\(\frac{13050}{10}\)
=1305 m³
