Answer:
The volume of the rectangular prism is [tex]8\frac{1}{2}\ units^{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The Volume of a rectangular prism is equal to
[tex]V=BL[/tex]
where
B is the area of the base
L is the length of the prism
In this problem we have
[tex]B=2\frac{1}{8}\ units^{2}=\frac{8*2+1}{8}=\frac{17}{8}\ units^{2}[/tex]
[tex]L=4\ units[/tex]
substitute
[tex]V=(\frac{17}{8})(4)=\frac{17}{2}=8\frac{1}{2}\ units^{3}[/tex]
