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
To find the area of the base of a right rectangular prism, you need to know the volume and the height of the prism.
The formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism is:
Volume = base area * height
In this case, the volume is given as 50 cubic units and the height is given as 2 units.
Let's call the area of the base "A". Therefore, the equation becomes:
50 = A * 2
To find the value of A, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
50/2 = A
Simplify:
25 = A
Therefore, the area of the base is 25 square units.
