Geometry isn't really my thing. I am more of an algebraic expressions kind-a-guy.

Volume  Prism = (1 + 1/2) (1/2) (3/4)  =  (3/2) (1/2) (3/4)  = (9/16)  units^3

 

Volume of one cube  = (1/4)^3  = 1/64 units  ^3

 

So

 

(9/16) / (1/64)  =

 

(9/16) * (64/1)  =

 

(64/16) (9/1)  =

 

4 * 9   =

 

36

 

 

 

cool cool cool
