Using the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism, what is the area of the base when the volume is 50 cubic units and the height is 2?
A. 75 square units
B. 100 square units
C. 200 square units
D. 25 square units
The formula for the volume of a right 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 units and the height is given as 2. Let's say the length and width are x and y, respectively. Then, we can write the equation:
50 = x * y * 2
Simplifying, we have:
25 = xy
This means that the area of the base, which is equal to xy, is 25 square units.
Therefore, the answer is D. 25 square units.
