use the formula of a right rectangular prism what is the area of the base when the volume is 50cubic units and height is 2
To find the area of the base of a right rectangular prism, we need to rearrange the formula for the volume of a prism and solve for the area of the base.
The formula for the volume of a prism is:
V = lwh
where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
In this case, the volume is given as 50 cubic units, and the height is 2 units. Let's substitute these values into the formula:
50 = lw(2)
To solve for the area of the base, we need to isolate lw. Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
25 = lw
Now, we have an equation that relates the area of the base (lw) to the volume (25). So, the area of the base is 25 square units.
