A right rectangular prism has edges of 8 feet, 4 feet, and 1/2 foot. How many cubes with side lengths of 1/2 foot would be needed to fill the prism?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Edges of 8 feet, 4 feet, and 1/2 foot

Generally the volume V_p of the right rectangular prism is mathematically represented as

[tex]V_p=8*4*0.5[/tex]

[tex]V_p=16[/tex]

Generally volume of the cube V_c is mathematically given as

[tex]V_c =(\frac{1}{2})^3[/tex]

[tex]V_c =\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Therefore total number of cubes is given as

[tex]V=\frac{V_p}{V_c}[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{16}{\frac{1}{6}}[/tex]

[tex]V=96[/tex]
