A right rectangular prism has a length of 2 1/2 feet, a width of 3 feet,and a height of 1 1/2 feet. Unit cubes with side lengths of 1/2 foot are added to completely fill the prism with no space remaining. What is the volume, in cubic feet, of the right rectangular prism
Question
Answer:
As I think it is easy to answer the volume of prism I will also calculate no of small prism that can fit inside the larger one so volume = length * width * height
volume of larger prism
vp=45/4 ft^3 =11.25
volume of small cubes
vs=1/2*1/2*1/2
vs=0.125 ft^3
now numbers of cube that can fit
n=vp/vs
n= 11.25/.125
n=90
so 90 smaller cubes will completely fill in the prism
