* 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 of the box, we need to solve for the length and width of the base.
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 are given that the volume of the box 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 need to solve for the product of the length and width, lw. We can rearrange the equation to solve for lw:
lw = 50/4
lw = 12.5
Therefore, the area of the base is 12.5 square feet.
