Question

calculating the volume of a right prism a right prism has a base in the shape of an octagon. the area of the octagonal base is 77.28 square inches, and the height of the prism is 12 inches. what is the volume of the prism? round your answer to the nearest whole number. cubic inches

Explanation:

Step1: Recall prism volume formula

The volume $V$ of a right prism is given by $V = B \times h$, where $B$ is the base area and $h$ is the height of the prism.

Step2: Substitute given values

Substitute $B = 77.28$ square inches and $h = 12$ inches into the formula:
$V = 77.28 \times 12$

Step3: Calculate and round result

Compute the product: $77.28 \times 12 = 927.36$. Round to the nearest whole number: $927$.

Answer:

927 cubic inches
