Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a rectangular prism. The top, front, and right faces are visible. The edges that are not visible are indicated by a dashed line. The base is labeled upper B equals 21 centimeters squared. A vertical edge is labeled h equals 3 centimeters.
Find the volume of the right rectangular prism.

are you sure
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. The correct answer is:
441 cm3
do it one more time
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
From the image, we are given that the base area (length x width) is 21 cm^2 and the height is 3 cm.
Given that the base area is the product of the length and width (21 = l x w), we can find the values of the length and width:
l x w = 21
The possible combinations of length and width that multiply to 21 are 3 x 7 or 1 x 21. Since one of the dimensions is given as 3 cm (height), we take 7 as the other dimension:
l = 7 cm
w = 3 cm
h = 3 cm
Now, calculate the volume:
V = l x w x h
V = 7 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm
V = 63 cm^3
Therefore, the correct volume of the right rectangular prism is 63 cm3.
do it again
Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's calculate the volume of the right rectangular prism one more time:
Given:
Base Area (B) = 21 cm^2
Height (h) = 3 cm
Since the base area (B) is equal to the length (l) multiplied by the width (w), we can find the dimensions of the rectangle base by looking for numbers that multiply to get 21. The possible combinations are:
1 x 21
3 x 7
Since one dimension is given as the height (3 cm), we can take the dimensions as:
l = 7 cm
w = 3 cm
Now, we can calculate the volume using the formula V = l x w x h:
V = 7 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm
V = 63 cm^3
Therefore, the correct volume of the right rectangular prism is 63 cm3.
