Monica is constructing a box in the shape of a right rectangle 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 ft
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 ft. Therefore, we can plug in these values into the formula to find the area of the base.
50 = lwh
50 = lw(4)
50 = 4lw
To find the area of the base (lw), we need to isolate it by dividing both sides of the equation by 4l.
50/(4l) = (4lw)/(4l)
12.5 = lw
Therefore, the area of the base is 12.5 square feet.
