Question
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)

To find the area of the base, we can rearrange the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = (length)(width)(height)
In this case, the volume is given as 50 cubic feet, and the height is 4 feet. We need to find the area of the base, so we can set up the equation:
50 = (length)(width)(4)
To solve for the area of the base, we need to determine the values of length and width. However, the given information does not provide enough information to solve for these values. Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined with the given information.
