Because you know that both the rectangular prism and the rectangular prism have the same volume, you can divide 588 cm^3 by 12cm to find the area of the base and get 49 cm^2. The base of the rectangular prism is x^2 so to solve just find the square rootof 49 cm^2 to get the side lengths (7 cm).
Hope this helped
Hi love ! it would be linear.
-8

Step 2) Add 4W to both sides of the equation
Step 3) Divide both sides of the equation by the same factor
