A rectangular prism has a length of 3.5 inches, a width of 5 inches, and a height of 1.5inches. What is the volume of the prism? *

24.5 cubic inches

25.4 cubic inches

26.25 cubic inches

26.5 cubic inches

26.25 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length = 3.5 in

Width = 5 in

Height = 1.5 in

We need to find the volume of the prism.

Solution,

Since the prism is rectangular in shape.

So we apply the formula of volume of cuboid.

We know that the volume is equal to .

Now on substituting the given values, we get;

Hence The volume of the prism is .

20

step-by-step explanation:

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
