Answer:
[tex]37 \frac{13}{16} ft^3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangular prism is also know as a cuboid.
The dimensions of the rectangular prism shaped bath tub are 5½ ft * 2½ ft * 2¾ ft.
The volume of a cuboid (rectangular prism) is given as:
V = L * B * H
Hence, the volume of the bath tub is:
V = 5½ * 2½ * 2¾
V = 11/2 * 5/2 * 11/4
V = 605 / 16 = [tex]37 \frac{13}{16} ft^3[/tex]
The volume of the bath tub is [tex]37 \frac{13}{16} ft^3[/tex]
