V=ℓwhThe formula gives the volume V of a right rectangular prism with length ℓ, width w, and height h. What is the volume, in cubic meters, of a rectangular prism that is 6 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 10 meters tall?
Q. V=ℓwhThe formula gives the volume V of a right rectangular prism with length ℓ, width w, and height h. What is the volume, in cubic meters, of a rectangular prism that is 6 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 10 meters tall?
Identify dimensions of prism: Identify the given dimensions of the rectangular prism.Length (ℓ) = 6 metersWidth (w) = 2 metersHeight (h) = 10 metersWe will use these dimensions to calculate the volume of the prism using the formula V=ℓwh.
Substitute dimensions into formula: Substitute the given dimensions into the volume formula.Using the formula V=ℓwh, we substitute the values for length, width, and height.V=6 meters×2 meters×10 meters
Perform multiplication to find volume: Perform the multiplication to find the volume.V=6×2×10V=12×10V=120The volume of the rectangular prism is 120 cubic meters.
