Geometry and Modeling:

Mike completely filled the container shown below with 616 small cubes that were each [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inch long.

Part A: Calculate the volume of the prism.

Part B: Crate a graphical model of a prism with base 5.5 by 3.5 that has the same volume as Part A.

Show how Mike can calculate the volume of the prism, in cubic inches, by using a volume formula instead of filling the container with small cubes.
