If the VOLUME of a rectangular prism is 945 cm 3 , then what is the value of the length X of the base?
W=7 H=15
To find the value of the length, X, of the base, we need to first identify the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = length x width x height
Given information:
Volume = 945 cm^3
Width (W) = 7 cm
Height (H) = 15 cm
Let's substitute the given values into the formula:
945 = X x 7 x 15
Now, we can solve for the length, X:
X = 945 / (7 x 15)
X = 945 / 105
X = 9
Therefore, the length of the base (X) of the rectangular prism is 9 cm.
