A gift box is being constructed in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The base is 15 inches squared and the height is 5 inches. What will the volume of the gift box be
To find the volume of a right rectangular prism, we will multiply the length, width, and height together.
In this case, the base has an area of 15 square inches, so we can infer that the length times the width equals 15.
We can let the length be L and the width be W, and we know that L * W = 15.
We also know that the height of the prism is 5 inches.
So, the volume of the gift box will be V = L * W * H = 15 * 5 = 75 cubic inches.
