I also have a question for finding the formula of two rectanguler prisms
I know the formula to find the volume is b x h x l Prism A dimensions is a height of 10 inches and the width is 2 inches but how do I find the length of the prism
same senario with another prism dimensions are 8 inches and with a width of 2.5 inches not sure how to find the lenght to include in calculation
In either case, do you have the volume data? Cannot solve with two unknowns.
Yes the prism A dimensions are h=10 inches and the width is 2 inches but I need to find the length of the prism or do I even need the length to complete the problem
Prism B- the dimensions are height of 8 inches and the width of 2.5 inches
To find the length for both rectangular prisms, you'll need to provide the missing dimension for each prism. In the information you provided, you mentioned the height and width for each prism, but not the length.
For Prism A:
1. Known dimensions: Height = 10 inches, Width = 2 inches.
2. To find the length, you'll need to measure the third dimension of the prism. It could be the length from front to back or from one end to the other.
Similarly, for the other prism:
1. Known dimensions: Height = 8 inches, Width = 2.5 inches.
2. You'll need to measure the length from one end to the other or from front to back.
Once you have the length for both prisms, you can calculate the volume using the formula you mentioned: Volume = base x height x length.
