A rectangular prism has a length of 212 centimeters, a width of 212 centimeters, and a height of 5 centimeters. Justin has a storage container for the prism that has a volume of 35 cubic centimeters. What is the difference between the volume of the prism and the volume of the storage container?

First we must find the volume of the rectangular prism.

We have then:

V = (l) * (w) * (h)

Where,

l: long

w: width

h: height

Substituting the values we have:

V = (2 1/2) * (2 1/2) * (5)

V = 31.25 cm ^ 3

The difference between the container and the prism is:

35-31.25 = 3.75 cm ^ 3

Answer:

the difference between the volume of the prism and the volume of the storage container is:

3.75 cm ^ 3
