Question

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with length 5 cm, width 3 cm, and height 4 cm?

• A. \( 50 \, \text{cm}^3 \)
• B. \( 60 \, \text{cm}^3 \)
• C. \( 70 \, \text{cm}^3 \)
• D. \( 80 \, \text{cm}^3 \)

Hint:

The volume of a rectangular prism is simply the product of its length, width, and height. Be sure to use the correct units and square/cube them appropriately.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

We are asked to find the volume of a rectangular prism. The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is: \[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}. \] In this problem, the given dimensions are: - Length = 5 units, - Width = 3 units, - Height = 4 units. Substitute the values into the formula: \[ \text{Volume} = 5 \times 3 \times 4. \] Now, calculate the product: \[ 5 \times 3 = 15,
\text{and}
15 \times 4 = 60. \] Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is \( 60 \) cubic units.
