Question

A rectangular prism with a volume of 45 cubic centimeters and a height of 3 cm has a base with an area of

Answer 1

Answer:

Area: 15cm^2

Base: 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a Rectangular Prism is given as:

V= wlh

Where W = Base

L = Length

H= Height

From the question:

The Volume V = 45cm^3

The Height H = 3

But, Area = Length * Width

Therefore :

Volume V = Area * Height

45 = A * 3

A = 45/3

A= 15cm^2

Solving for Base:

Area = height * Base

15 = 3 * Base

Base = 15/3

Base = 5cm
