Answer: \(720\ inches^3\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of the prism = 10 inches

The height of the prism = 9 inches

The width of the prism =\(\frac{2}{3}\ foot\)

We know that 1 foot = 12 inches

Then, width of the prism = \(\frac{2}{3}\times12=8\ inches\)

The volume of rectangular prism is given by :_

\(V=lwh\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=10\times8\times9\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=720\ inches^3\)

Hence, the volume of a prism-shaped watermelon =\(720\ inches^3\)
