Calculating the Volume of a Rectangular Prism
Problem Statement
You are given the dimensions of a rectangular prism: 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1 3/4. Your task is to calculate the volume of the prism.
Understanding the Dimensions
Let's break down the given dimensions:
- Length (L) = 1 1/2 = 3/2 = 1.5
- Width (W) = 1 1/2 = 3/2 = 1.5
- Height (H) = 1 3/4 = 7/4 = 1.75
Calculating the Volume
The formula to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism is:
V = L × W × H
Where V is the volume, L is the length, W is the width, and H is the height.
Plugging in the given dimensions, we get:
V = 1.5 × 1.5 × 1.75
V = 3.9375
So, the volume of the rectangular prism is approximately 3.94 cubic units.
In conclusion, the volume of the rectangular prism with dimensions 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1 3/4 is approximately 3.94 cubic units.
