Transcript text: What is the volume of the rectangular prism? Type the answer in the boxes below, $\square$ $\mathrm{cm}^{3}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Count the cubes
The prism is made up of small cubes with a side length of 1/2 cm. The prism is 6 cubes long, 2 cubes wide, and 2 cubes high.
Step 2: Calculate the volume
The volume of the prism is the product of the length, width, and height.
Length: \(6 \times \frac{1}{2} = 3\) cm
Width: \(2 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1\) cm
Height: \(2 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1\) cm
Volume: \(3 \times 1 \times 1 = 3\) cm³
