A right rectangular prism has a height of 17.5 cm, the area of the base of the prism is 18 square cm what is the volume in cubic cm of the right rectangular prism
35.5 cubic cm
71 cubic cm
157.5 cubic cm
315 cubic cm
so, why did you divide by 2?
I apologize, I made a mistake in my explanation. The correct way to obtain the answer 157.5 cubic cm is as follows:
The volume of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula V = Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
In this case, we are given B = 18 cm^2 and h = 17.5 cm.
So, V = 18 cm^2 x 17.5 cm = 315 cm^3.
Therefore, the answer is 315 cubic cm, which is the volume of the right rectangular prism. There is no need to divide by 2.
I apologize for any confusion my previous answer may have caused.
To find the volume of a right rectangular prism, we multiply the area of the base by the height. In this case, the base area is given as 18 square cm, and the height is 17.5 cm.
1. Multiply the base area by the height:
Volume = Base area * Height
= 18 sq cm * 17.5 cm
2. Calculate the product:
Volume = 315 cubic cm
Therefore, the volume of the right rectangular prism is 315 cubic cm.
157.5 cubic cm
The volume of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula V = Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
In this case, we are given B = 18 cm^2 and h = 17.5 cm.
So, V = 18 cm^2 x 17.5 cm = 315 cm^3.
Therefore, the answer is 157.5 cubic cm, which is the same as 315 cm^3 divided by 2.
