Q. A rectangular prism with length ℓ, width w, and height h has a volume of ℓwh.What is the volume of a prism which has a base of 5m by 3m, and a height of 4m ?m3
Identify formula: Identify the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism.The volume of a rectangular prism is found by multiplying the length ℓ, width w, and height h together.Volume formula: V=ℓwh
Substitute dimensions: Substitute the given dimensions into the volume formula.Given the base dimensions are 5m (length) and 3m (width), and the height is 4m, we substitute these values into the formula.V=5m×3m×4m
Calculate volume: Calculate the volume.V=5m×3m×4mV=15m2×4mV=60m3
