A rectangular prism has a volume of 6.84m cubed and a height of 1.2 m. What is the area of the base of the prism?
Is my answer 5.7 or am I wrong
Let me rewrite .
A rectangular prism has a volume of 6.84m 3 cubed and a height of 1.2m. What is the area of the base of the prism.
I got 5.7 for the area. This is the only info for the problem
You are right!
To find the area of the base of a rectangular prism, we can use the formula:
Volume = Base Area × Height
In this case, we are given that the volume is 6.84 m³ and the height is 1.2 m. Plugging these values into the formula, we have:
6.84 m³ = Base Area × 1.2 m
To find the base area, we can rearrange the formula:
Base Area = Volume / Height
Substituting the given values:
Base Area = 6.84 m³ / 1.2 m
Calculating this division, we find:
Base Area = 5.7 m²
Therefore, your answer of 5.7 m² is correct. Well done!
