The volume of the prism = 14 ft³
Solution:
Number of cubes in the prism = 1750
Edge length of each cube (a) = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] ft
To find the volume of each cube:
Volume of each cube = a³
[tex]$=\left(\frac{1}{5} \right)^3[/tex]
Volume of each cube [tex]$=\frac{1}{125} \ \text{ft}^3[/tex]
To find the volume of the prism:
Volume of the prism = Volume of each cube × Number of cubes
[tex]$=\frac{1}{125} \ \text{ft}^3\times 1750[/tex]
= 14 ft³
The volume of the prism = 14 ft³
