The volume of a rectangle prism with a square bases is 5880 cubic inches and it's height is 30 inches. Find the side length of the square base?
5880\30 = 196 square = side length of 14
you are correct.
To find the side length of the square base, we need to use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: V = lwh, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
In this case, we know the volume V is 5880 cubic inches and the height h is 30 inches. We need to find the side length of the square base, which means the length and width are the same.
We can set up the equation as follows:
5880 = lwh
Since the base is square, we can substitute w with l:
5880 = l^2 * 30
To solve for l, we divide both sides by 30:
5880/30 = l^2
196 = l^2
Taking the square root of both sides, we find:
l = √196
l = 14
Therefore, the side length of the square base is 14 inches.
