To calculate the volume of a prism using the formula $V = \pi r^2 h$, we need to first determine if this formula is appropriate for the given prism dimensions. The given formula is for the volume of a cylindrical prism, not a rectangular prism. Since the dimensions provided are length, width, and height, the shape seems to be a rectangular prism.

For a rectangular prism, the volume is calculated by:

$V = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height}$

Step 1: Convert all dimensions to consistent units (centimeters)

• Length: 6 meters = $6 \times 100 = 600$ cm
• Width: 450 cm (already in cm)
• Height: 3000 mm = $\frac{3000}{10} = 300$ cm

Step 2: Calculate the Volume in Cubic Centimeters

$V = 600 \, \text{cm} \times 450 \, \text{cm} \times 300 \, \text{cm}$

Let's calculate this:

$V = 600 \times 450 \times 300$

Step 3: Convert to Other Units

• Cubic Inches:
  1 cm$^3$ = 0.0610237 in$^3$

• Liters:
  1 cm$^3$ = 0.001 liters

Let's compute the volume and convert it to the desired units.The volume of the rectangular prism is:

a. Cubic centimeters (cm$^3$): $81,000,000$ cm$^3$

b. Cubic inches (in$^3$): $4,942,919.7$ in$^3$

c. Liters (L): $81,000$ L
