What is a rectangular prism?
A rectangular prism has a total of 6 faces, 12 sides, and eight vertices. Like a cuboid, it has three dimensions- the base width, the height, and the length. The top and base of the rectangular prism are rectangular in shape. The pairs of opposite faces of a rectangular prism are identical or congruent.
A brick is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length of 8 inches, a width of 3.5 inches, and a height of 2 inches.
The volume of rectangular prism = length×width×height
= 8×3.5×2
= 56
Thus volume of brick is 56 cubic inches.
Convert inches to centimeter
1 inch = 2.54 centimeter
Therefore,
56 cubic inches = 56 x 2.54 x 2.54 x 2.54 cubic centimeter
56 cubic inches = 917.676 cubic centimeter
Thus, we get,
volume of a rectangular prism = 917.676 cubic centimeter
The brick has a density of 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter
Density = 2.7 grams
The mass of brick is given by formula = density × volume
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] = 2.7 × 917.676
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] = 2477.72
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] ≅ 2478
Thus mass of brick is 2478 gram.
