Question

What is the volume of the right rectangular prism?

Answer 1

The volume of a rectangular prism can be determined from this formula

 

V=lwh

 

In this case, the prism has a square base, so all of it's sides are equal, thus, we can substitute as follows.

 

V=(7)(7)(2)

 

Simplifying this equation, we get

 

V=98 inches³
