a. 1.62 m³
b. 4.05 m³
c. 5.20 m³
d. 16.74 m³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rectangular prism volume formula

Volume $V = l \times w \times h$, where $l=2.5\ \text{m}$, $w=1.8\ \text{m}$, $h=0.9\ \text{m}$

Step2: Calculate length × width first

$2.5 \times 1.8 = 4.5$

Step3: Multiply by height

$4.5 \times 0.9 = 4.05$

Answer:

B. $4.05\ \text{m}^3$
