I made a tower in the shape of a rectangular prism out of blocks. The length was 8 in, width was 2 in, and height was 4 in. What was the volume of the figure?
8x2x4 = 64 cubic inches
12 x 3 x 4
12 x 3 x 4 = 144
Volume = 680 cubic yd
Base Area = 68 squared yd
Height = ?
Volume = 680 cubic yd
Base Area = 68 squared yd
Height = 10
