Question

Not sure what the answer is

Answer 1

Given:

Base dimensions of a rectangular prism = 15 cm × x cm

The height of the prism = 8 cm

Volume of the prism = 600 cm.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Base area of the prism is:

$B=length\times width$

$B=15\times x$

$B=15x$

Volume of the prism is:

$V=Bh$

Where, B is the base area and h is the height of the prism.

Putting $V=600,B=15x,h=8$, we get

$600=15x\times 8$

$600=(8)(15)x$

$\dfrac{600}{(8)(15)}=x$

Therefore, the correct option is C.
