Monica is constructing a box in the shape of a right rectangular prism to hold grain on her farm. Use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism to find the area of the base when the volume is 50 cubic feet and the height is 4 feet.(1 point)

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

In this case, the volume is given as 50 cubic feet and the height is given as 4 feet. We can plug these values into the formula:

50 = lw(4)

To find the area of the base, we need to solve for lw.

lw = 50/4
lw = 12.5

Therefore, the area of the base is 12.5 ft².
