A gift box is being constructed in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The base is 15 inches squared and height is 5 inches. What will the volume of tje gift box be
To find the volume of a right rectangular prism, we multiply the length, width, and height.
Given:
Length = 15 inches
Width = ?
Height = 5 inches
We know that the base is a rectangle, so the width of the base is the length of the base divided by the length.
Width = 15 inches / 15 inches = 1 inch
Therefore, the volume of the gift box is:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 15 inches x 1 inch x 5 inches
Volume = 75 cubic inches
To find the volume of a right rectangular prism, you need to multiply the base area by the height.
Given:
Base area = 15 square inches
Height = 5 inches
Volume = Base area * Height
Substituting the given values:
Volume = 15 square inches * 5 inches
Calculating:
Volume = 75 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the gift box will be 75 cubic inches.
