Why are length x width x height and base x height both correct ways to find volume of a rectangular prism?

<em>Answer</em>

<em>Because the base is equal to the area, (L*W). So essentially, they are the same equation! </em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

We normally find the area when dealing with two-dimensional shapes, correct? So, when the shape becomes 3-dimensional, it now includes a base <em>and </em>a height! You multiply these together to get the volume (the amount of space it takes up).

If we were to add a height to a regular rectangle, what was once the entire shape, now becomes the base of a rectangular prism! The length and the width of that prism is equal to the base, which makes both equations equal to each other!

12: 1x12, 2x6, 3x4
36: 1x36, 2x18, 3x12, 4x9, 6x6

the common factors in these numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12

Jon is looking into a 4250 vacation package that is offered for 25% off. there's a 9% resort fee added on to the total. How much
bazaltina [42]
When you want to find a percent of a number you do this:
given number/ 1   multiplied by   percentage/100

so in this question its a multiple step 

start with finding 25 percent of 4250 which is= 1062.5
so thats how much the discount is so the amount after the 25% discount is:
4250-1062.5= 3187.5

then you have to add 9% due to fees
so you find 9% of 3187.5 which is= 286.875
so you add 286.875 to 3187.5 gives you= 3437.375 in total cost for the vacation package

\frac{2}{5}(25)-3
=10-3
