Question

a rectangular prism has a base of 85 square inches. the height of the prism is 12 inches. what is the volume of the rectangular prism? 425 in³ 1,020 in³ 97 in³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula for rectangular prism

The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism is given by the formula \( V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \).

Step2: Substitute the given values

We know the base area is 85 square inches and the height is 12 inches. So we substitute these values into the formula: \( V = 85 \times 12 \).

Step3: Calculate the product

\( 85\times12 = 1020 \).

Answer:

\( 1020 \text{ in}^3 \) (corresponding to the option with \( 1,020 \text{ in}^3 \))
