@KamiBug

OpenStudy (kamibug):

V = l * w * h

OpenStudy (pina_colada123):

which gives u i believe 168

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Are you sure???

OpenStudy (ghostedly):

Yes, answer is 168.

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

84??

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

84 seems more logical to me.

OpenStudy (kamibug):

@Vincent-Lyon.Fr Doesn't the word prism alone refer to |dw:1457124654991:dw|Sorry, if I'm wrong! ^_^ If it's a triangular prism, then yes it'd be 84 because you'd add a *1/2 in the formula...|dw:1457124706232:dw|

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

I don't know. That's the problem if the kind of prism is not specified. I have not studied geometry in English, so I could not tell what is intended. In my language prism on its own is always triangular.

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Okay, thanks for the input, you're probably right about it being triangular! :) @Vincent-Lyon.Fr I just looked up the word "prism" and most of the results were triangular. XD My fault!

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

It seems what you have drawn is a cuboid or a right rectangular prism or a rectangular parallelepiped. l x w x h is the volume of any (not necessarily rectangular) parallelepiped. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped
