School Subject:____________ (Examples: math, science, algebra, geography)
the base is square so 5 * 5
To find the area of the base of a rectangular prism, you need to know the dimensions of the base. In this case, the base is a square with a length of 5 cm.
To find the area of a square, you can use the formula: Area = side length × side length.
In this case, the side length of the square base is 5 cm.
So, the formula becomes: Area = 5 cm × 5 cm = 25 cm².
Therefore, the area of the base of the prism is 25 square centimeters.
