so I tried to find the volume of a rectangular prism, I did 10.4*5*8=416mm and my teacher says I didn't label it correctly. can some one tell me why? did I have to add the square sign?

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Could we wee your diagrams with your labels?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

got picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's volume so yea I might have labeled it wrong

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

416mm is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that she said I labeled it wrong.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm you mean, THAT picture is wrong?

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Why do you say volume AND surface area of a rectangular prism

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got mixed up with the a=surface area.

OpenStudy (ahsome):

All I can see is that in your measurements, you didn't put "mm"? Thats about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's usually surface area so I got mixed up typing it. and I did add mm and she says please go back and label it correctly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my teacher said I labeled it incorrectly and I added mm she took a point off for 'not labeling it right'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was m3 (3 is supposed to be mini and in the air)
