Answer:
The diagonal of the base is 4√5 centimeters.
The area of a base is 40 square centimeters.
The area of a lateral side between the bases is about 126.5 square centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of any rectangular prism can be found by the formula
volume =B.h
where B = area of base and h is the height of the prism.
It is given the volume of prism is 800 cubic centimeters and height is 20 centimeters.
Substituting these values in the volume formula :
800= B(20)
Or B= 800÷20=40.
Hence area of base is 40 square centimeters.
The diagonal of base =
=
The Volume of prism is 800 cubic unit and base area is 40 square units .Lateral area = area of all sides except the base = 126.5 square centimeters.
