If the base of a rectangular prism is 40 units and the height is 2 units, what is the volume of the prism? (1 point)
1 point
40 units squared
42 units cubed
80 units cubed
choose one of the options
The correct answer is: 80 units cubed
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula V = length x width x height. Since the base of the prism is a rectangle, the length and width are the same as the base measurement, which is 40 units. The height is given as 2 units.
V = 40 units x 40 units x 2 units = 3200 units cubed
Therefore, the volume of the prism is 3200 units cubed.
