Explanation for Question 16 From the Math (No Calc) Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 9
Question 16 asks us what is the volume in cubic centimeters of a 2 right rectangular prism that has a length of four centimeters, 3 a width of nine centimeters and a height of 10 centimeters. 4 So first we have to figure out what the formula for volume would be. 5 And let's picture, let's draw a quick picture to see what our structure looks 6 like. So we know that we have a right rectangular prism 7 and really we can just draw a rectangular prison for this one and visualize 8 what's happening. Got a length of four centimeters width 9 of nine centimeters. And excuse me, 10 let's draw this as a length of four centimeter. 11 It's a width of nine centimeters and a height of 10 centimeters. 12 So just from looking at this picture, hopefully you can see that our volume 13 formula is going to be length times, 14 width, times, height, and no solving through. 15 We get Ellis four centimeters with this nine centimeters and 16 H is 10 centimeters. So nine times four is equal to 36 times 17 10 is equal to 360 cubic centimeters. 18 So the volume that you're going to bubble in is 360.
