The answer is C) 228

How?

b + m = 342

b = 2m

2m + m = 342

3m = 342

m = 114

<em>Substitute to the original equation, "b + m = 342".</em>

b + 114 = 342

b = 228

Find the missing dimension of each prism: volume= 56 1/4 ft | width= 3 3/4 ft | length= 7 1/2 ft
Juliette [100K]
Prism volume = width*length*height
56 1/4 = 3 3/4 * 7 1/2 * h

56.25=3.75*7.5*h

h=(56.25)/(3.75*7.5)=2

So that the missing dimension (height) is 2 ft
