The product is 60.

We start out with the information we have. This forms a right triangle, with one leg being 24, the other leg x, and the hypotenuse 30. Using the Pythagorean theorem we have

x²+24²=30²
x²+576=900

Subtract 576 from both sides:
x²+576-576 = 900-576
x²=324

Take the square root of each side:
√x²=√324
x=18

We know that the formula for the volume of a triangular prism is V=(1/2bh)H, where b is the base of the triangle, h is the height of the triangle, and H is the height of the prism. Substituting our known information we have:

720=(1/2*18*24)y
720=216y

Divide both sides by 216:
720/216 = 216y/216
3 1/3 = y

This means the product of x and y would be:
18(3 1/3)
18(10/3)
180/3
60

The information about the rational numbers and integers shows that the correct option is C.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

It should be noted that rational numbers are numbers where we can write as a fraction of two integers. Any rational number is in the form a/b where a,b are integers and b is nonzero.

Terminating decimals can be written as a rational number. Something like 3.1 is equivalent to 31/10.

Of the four answer choices, only choice C is correct.

Choice A has the value '3' as a rational number, but it doesn't have it in the set of integers as well. So that's why choice A is incorrect.

Choice B has -3.4 in the set of integers, which is not correct. Integers do not have any decimal portion. The same applies to choice D also. We can rule choices B and D out.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
