The rectangular prism shown has dimensions as labeled. What is its volume in cubic units?
A rectangular prism has volume \(240\) cm\(^3\) and base area \(30\) cm\(^2\). What is the height of the prism?
A triangular prism has volume \(126\) cubic inches. If the triangular base has area \(18\) in\(^2\), what is the height of the prism?
Convert \(2\) cubic meters to cubic centimeters. (Hint: \(1\) m \(= 100\) cm)
Volume of a prism \(=\) base area \(\times\) height \(=15\times10=150\) cm\(^3\).
Volume \(= l \times w \times h = 5 \times 4 \times 8 = 160\) m\(^3\).
\(V = B \times h = 24 \times 6 = 144\) in\(^3\).
Volume of a rectangular prism is length \(\times\) width \(\times\) height, so \(12 \times 5 \times 3 = 180\) cm\(^3\).
\(V = 6 \times 4 \times 5 = 120\) cubic units.
Rearranging \(V = B \times h\), we get \(h = \frac{V}{B} = \frac{240}{30} = 8\) cm.
\(h = \frac{V}{B} = \frac{126}{18} = 7\) inches.
\(1\) m \(= 100\) cm, so \(1\) m\(^3 = (100)^3 = 1{,}000{,}000\) cm\(^3 = 10^6\) cm\(^3\). Thus \(2\) m\(^3 = 2 \times 10^6\) cm\(^3\).
