Answer:
The volume of the rectangular prism is [tex]\tfrac{175}{6} in^{3}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, box is in the shape of rectangular prism means cuboid shape.
Given:
Rectangular prism base area is [tex]23\tfrac{1}{3}[/tex] in².
Height of the prism is [tex]1\tfrac{1}{4}[/tex] in.
Calculation:
Volume of the rectangular prism is nothing but the volume of cuboid.
Volume of the cuboid is expressed as follow:
V=lbh …… (1)
Base are of the rectangular prism is expressed as follows:
A=lb …… (2)
Substitute the equation (2) in (1). We get the expression for volume as follows:
V=Ah
Substitute [tex]23\tfrac{1}{3}[/tex] in² for A and [tex]1\tfrac{1}{4}[/tex] in for h in above equation as follows:
[tex]V=23\tfrac{1}{3}\times 1\tfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]V=\tfrac{70}{3}\times \tfrac{5}{4}[/tex]
[tex]V=\tfrac{175}{6} in^{3}[/tex]
Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is [tex]\tfrac{175}{6} in^{3}[/tex].
