The distance from the base of the tree to the tallest would be 14.21 cm

<h3>We have the following data points in this question</h3>

X1 = 8 feet

y1 = 16 feet

x2 = 11 feet

y2 = 9 feet

To proceed with the solution we have to

We have to solve for the shorter tree

\sqrt{(y2 -y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2} \\\\= \sqrt{9-0^2 + 11-0^2}

<em>= </em>9² + 11²

= √81 +121

= 14.21

<h3>For the taller tree we would have</h3>

√8² + 16²

= √64 +256

= 17.89

Using the formula V = l × w × h, find the volume of a right rectangular prism when the length of the prism is 45 cm, the width i
user100 [1]

Answer:

The volume of the right rectangular prism is 5400 cubic centimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of the prism is 45 cm, the width is 12 cm, and the height is 10 cm.

To find : The volume of a right rectangular prism ?

Solution :

The formula used is V=l\times w\times h

Where, l is the length of the prism l=45 cm

w is the width of the prism w=12 cm

h is the height of the prism h=10 cm

Substitute the value in the formula,

V=45\times 12\times 10

V=5400\ cm^3

Therefore, The volume of the right rectangular prism is 5400 cubic centimeter.
