In Part B, you are asked to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism that has a length of 4.4 cm, a width of 3.1 cm, and a height of 6.3 cm, which is found by multiplying the area of the base times the height. In Part A it was correct to round the result to two significant figures (14 cm"), since finding the area was the final step for that problem. However, given that this result is now being used in the calculation for Part B, you should use the full-precision value (13.64 cm") and only round upon reaching the final value for the volume, which is now the final step of the calculation. Part B Calculate the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 4.4 cm, a width of 3.1 cm, and a height of 6.3 cm. (As before, you do not need to enter the units since they are provided to the right of the answer box.) H = 6.3 cm W = 3.1 cm L = 4.4 cm

Step 1
The area of the base (A) is found by multiplying the length (L) by the width (W). Given that L = 4.4 cm and W = 3.1 cm, the area A = L × W = 4.4 cm × 3.1 cm. Show more…
