perl · Answer

Original question:
find the volume of a cube. the base is a cube with sides of 2 cm. the height is 3.5. what is the volume

Here is the corrected question (my corrections)
Find the volume of a rectangular prism. the base is a square with sides 2 cm, the height is 3.5

so we multiply the area of the base times height.  2x2x3.5

(4)(3.5)=14 cm^3

perl · Answer

yes
