Evaluate the formula [tex]V=\frac{B h}{3}[/tex] for [tex]B=9[/tex] in[tex]^2[/tex] and [tex]h=32[/tex] in.

A. 32 in[tex]^3[/tex]
B. 96 in[tex]^3[/tex]
C. 9.6 in[tex]^3[/tex]
D. 288 in[tex]^3[/tex]



Answer :

Certainly! To find the volume \( V \) using the given formula and values, follow these steps:

1. Identify the given values:
- Base area \( B = 9 \, \text{in}^2 \)
- Height \( h = 32 \, \text{in} \)

2. Write down the formula for the volume \( V \):
[tex]\[ V = \frac{B h}{3} \][/tex]

3. Substitute the given values \( B \) and \( h \) into the formula:
[tex]\[ V = \frac{9 \, \text{in}^2 \times 32 \, \text{in}}{3} \][/tex]

4. Perform the multiplication first:
[tex]\[ 9 \, \text{in}^2 \times 32 \, \text{in} = 288 \, \text{in}^3 \][/tex]

5. Now, divide the product by 3:
[tex]\[ V = \frac{288 \, \text{in}^3}{3} = 96 \, \text{in}^3 \][/tex]

Therefore, the volume \( V \) is \( 96 \, \text{in}^3 \).

The correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 96 \, \text{in}^3 \][/tex]
