Answer:
240 cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a rectangular prism = base area x height
the base is a rectangle, thus base area = width x length = 4 x 5 = 20 cm^2
20cm^2 x 12 = 240 cm^3
First, by using the distance formula for just one side, we can find the length of all sides (a square has 4 equal sides.) Then, we can apply the area of a square formula, which is a^2.
Distance formula:

√((-2 + 5)^2 + (-8 + 4)^2)
√((3)^2 + (4)^2)
√9 + 16
√25
5
The side lengths of the square are each equal to 5, and by applying the formula for area, we can find the area of the square.
5^2 = 25
<h3>The area is 25.</h3>
You have two given data available here: the actual height of the Empire State Building measuring 1,450 feet, and the height of the block measuring 2 feet. To find how many blocks stacked together would make up 1,450 feet, just divide 1,450 by 2.
Number of blocks=1,450 feet * (1 block/2 feet)
Number of blocks = 725 blocks
Therefore, you would use a model requiring 725 blocks. The scale factor for the model is 1 block per two feet.
