A right rectangular prism has these dimensions. length: 2 feet • width: 4 feet height 2 feet What is the volume of this prism? A) 8 cubic feet B) 8 square feet C) 16 cubic feet D) 16 square feet

Answer 1

The volume for a rectangular prism is

$V=l\cdot w\cdot h$

where l represents the lenght, w the width and h the height.

In our case:

$\begin{gathered} V=(2)(4)(2) \\ =16 \end{gathered}$

Then the volume is 16 cubic feet.
