Find the base area, in square units, of a rectangular prism with a volume of 360 cubic units and a height of 9 units.
To find the base area of the rectangular prism, we first need to calculate the area of the base.
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:
Volume = Base Area x Height
Given that the volume is 360 cubic units and the height is 9 units, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the base area:
Base Area = Volume / Height
Base Area = 360 / 9
Base Area = 40
Therefore, the base area of the rectangular prism is 40 square units.
