We have some rectangular prisms here. Do you know how to find the volume of a rectangular prism?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try to help my little sis out haven't done this in years!

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Ok, formula for volume of a rectangular prism is b*l*h. So we need to find these 3 values on each rectangular prism.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Ok, can you show me what you did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just multiplied the HxWxL on each object

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

We have 4 objects

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really don't know:(

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

You got 2 of the objects. We have 4 objects, 2 of each object, so you found the volume of half of the object, meaning you have half of the volume.
