A stick of butter in the shape of a rectangular prism has a length of 8 inches, a width of 3 inches, and a height of 3 inches. What is the volume of the stick of butter?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]72in^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

the information we know about the shape of the stick of butter:  

[tex]length = 8in[/tex]

[tex]width = 3in[/tex]

[tex]height=3in[/tex]

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is:

[tex]volume=length*width*height[/tex]

we find the volume by multiplying ll the measurements of the stick.

So we substitute the values to find the volume and we get the following:

[tex]volume=8in*3in*3in\\volume=72in^3[/tex]

the volume of the stick of butter is [tex]72in^3[/tex]
