If the length is 5 cm, the width is 3 cm, and the height is 7 cm, what is the volume of the rectangular prism?

Step: 1

To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, you need to know the length, width, and height of the prism.

Explanation:

Once you have these measurements, you can use the formula:

\$ "Volume" = "Length" \times "Width" \times "Height"\$

Step: 2

Image: If you have an image that shows the dimensions of the rectangular prism, visually determine the length, width, and height of the prism from the image.

Measure: If you have a physical rectangular prism in front of you, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the length, width, and height directly. Ensure that your measurements are accurate.

Explanation:

Here, we are knowing how to calculate the volume of different images.

Step: 3

Calculation: Once you have the length, width, and height, multiply these values together to calculate the volume. Make sure to use consistent units (e.g., centimeters, inches, etc.) for all three dimensions.

\$Volume = 5 cm \times 3 cm \times 7 cm = 105 (cm)^3\$.

Explanation:

So, the volume of the rectangular prism would be 105 cubic centimeters.
