Question

This rectangular prism has a length of 14 inches, a height of 8 inches, and a width of 3 inches. What is the volume

Answer 1

given:

height= 8 in

length= 14 in

width= 3 in

to find:

the volume of the given rectangular prism.

solution:

$v = whl$

$v = 8 \times 14 \times 3$

$v = 336 \: {in}^{3}$

hence, the volume of the given rectangular prism is 336 cubic inches.

answer= option D

Answer 2

Given:

• l= 14 inch
• b= 3 inch
• h= 8 inch

Note that:

• l: length
• b: breadth
• h: height

To find:

• The volume of the given rectangular prism/cuboid.

Solution:

• A rectangular prism is a 3D shape with 2 congruent and parallel rectangular bases which is also known as a cuboid.

$\large\boxed{Formula: V= lbh}$

All the values are given so we'll simply have to solve.

Let's solve!

Substitute the values according to the formula.

We'll have to multiply the length, breadth and the height.

$V= 14 \times 3 \times 8$

$\large\boxed{V= 336 \: {in}^{3}}$

We get a whole number to the final answer so we won't have to round off.

Therefore, the volume of the given rectangular prism is 336 cubic inches.

Correct option: Option D
