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?
75 square units
100 square units
200 square units
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. Therefore, we have 50 = lw(2).
To find the area of the base (lw), we need to isolate it in the equation. Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 gives us 50/2 = lw(2)/2, which simplifies to 25 = lw.
Thus, the area of the base is 25 square units.
