If the VOLUME of a rectangular prism is 945 cm 3 , then what is the value of the length X of the base?
15 height
width 7
length ??
To find the value of the length, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is length x width x height.
Given:
Volume = 945 cm^3
Width = 7 cm
Height = 15 cm
Substitute the given values into the formula:
945 = X * 7 * 15
Simplify:
945 = 105X
Now, isolate X by dividing both sides by 105:
X = 945/105
X = 9
Therefore, the value of the length of the base (X) is 9 cm.
