Can y’all help my plesss

Answer 1

The right rectangular prism has length= 5 and width = 6.25 which is option B).

Step-by-step explanation:

The Formula for volume of right rectangular prism is given as :

Volume = length× width× height.

The given information are :

• The volume of the rectangular prism is 250 cubic centimeters.
• The height of the rectangular prism is 8 centimeters.

To find length and width :

Substitute volume = 250 and height = 8 in the above formula,

Volume of right rectangular prism = length× width× height.

250 = length× width× 8

length× width = 250/8

length× width = 31.25  -------(1)

Now, substitute the given options in the equation(1) and check which values of length and width satisfies the equation.

Option A) l= 5 and w= 6

length× width = 31.25

5×6 = 30 (less that 31.25)

Option B) l= 5 and w= 6.25

length× width = 31.25

5×6.25 = 31.25 (satisfies the equation)

Option C) l= 5.25 and w= 6

length× width = 31.25

5.25×6 = 31.5 (greater that 31.25)

Option D) l= 5.5 and w= 6.2

length× width = 31.25

5.5×6.2 = 34.1 (greater that 31.25)
