Answer:

Option C. [tex]36\ ft^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the rectangular prism is equal to

[tex]V=bhL[/tex]

Rounding the dimensions to the nearest whole number

we have

[tex]b=2.9\ ft=3\ ft[/tex]

[tex]h=1.8\ ft=2\ ft[/tex]

[tex]L=5.7\ ft=6\ ft[/tex]

substitute

[tex]V=(3)(2)(6)=36\ ft^{3}[/tex]
