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) Responses
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, we know that the volume is 50 cubic feet and the height is 4 feet. Let's represent the length as l and the width as w.
Therefore, we have the equation 50 = lwh.
To find the area of the base, we need to find the product of the length and width, or lw. Since we don't have the exact values of the length and width, we can't find the exact area of the base.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it.
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.
We know that the volume is 50 cubic feet and the height is 4 feet.
So, we have the equation 50 = lw(4).
To find the area of the base, we can isolate lw by dividing both sides of the equation by 4:
50/4 = lw(4)/4
12.5 = lw
Therefore, the area of the base of the rectangular prism is 12.5 square feet.
