Question

If a square prism has a volume of 104 cubic centimeters and a height of eight centimeters, explain how to find the area of the side that is a square. 

Answer 1

Answer: 3.6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$V=a^2h$

Using the volume formula; solve for a;

$a^2=\frac{V}{h}\\ a=\sqrt[]{\frac{V}{h} }$

$a=\sqrt[]{\frac{104cm^3}{8cm} }$

$a=\sqrt[]{13cm^2}$

$a=3.6cm$
