Answer:
A. The volume is the product of the area of the base, 5x(x + 3), and
the height, 2x - 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume is defined as the product of the Length, Width, and Height,
V = L*W*H
The Length x Width is the <u>Area of the Base</u>
<u></u>
L*W = Area Base)
Therefore:
The (L*W) in the equation V = L*W*H can be replaced with [Area of the Base]
[A<u>rea of the Base]</u>
[A<u>rea of the Base]</u> = (5x)*(x+3) [(or 5x^2 + 15x)]
Volume = [A<u>rea of the Base]</u>*H
Volume = [(5x)*(x+3)<u>]</u>*(2x-1)
The volume is the product of the area of the base, 5x(x + 3), and
the height, 2x - 1.
That looks a lot like the answer in A: "The volume is the product of the area of the base, 5x(x + 3), and the height, 2x - 1."
