The side of the square at the base of the rectangular prism is 0.4 m and the height is 3.4 m.Find the volume of the prism

To find the volume of a shape, you need to multiply the area of the base by the height. Because there is a square at the base of the prism, then its area is equal to a * a, i.e.

1) 0.4 * 0.4 = 0.16 (m2).

When multiplying this value by the height, we find the volume:

2) 0.16 * 3.4 = 0.544 (m3).

Since 1 m = 100 cm, then 1m3 = 100 * 100 * 100 cm3 = 1,000,000 cm3.

Let’s translate the result:

0.544 m3 * 1,000,000 = 544,000 cm3.

Answer: the prism has a volume equal to 544,000 cm3.
