Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{V=42\ u^3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Th formula of a volume of a prism:
[tex]V=BH[/tex]
B - base
H - height
We have
[tex]B=8;\ H=5\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{5\cdot4+1}{4}=\dfrac{20+1}{4}=\dfrac{21}{4}[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]V=(8)\left(\dfrac{21}{4}\right)[/tex] simplify 8 and 4
[tex]V=(8\!\!\!\!\diagup)\left(\dfrac{21}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup}\right)=(2)(21)=42[/tex]
