David Pitts · Answer 1

V (prism) = 2 1/2 squared (l*w) * 5

= 6.25 * 5

= 31.25

V (prism) = 31.25 centimeters cubed

V (container) - V (prism)

35 - 31.25 = 3.75

The difference in volume is 3.75 cubic centimeters.

Romeo Weaver · Answer 2

L = 2.5 cm

w = 2.5 cm

h = 5 cm

d = 6.12372 cm

S = 62.5 cm2

V = 31.25 cm³

35 cm³ - 31.25 cm³ = 3.75 cm³ < - Answer
