Question

The volume of a prism is the product of its height and area of its base, V = Bh. A rectangular prism has a volume of 16y4 + 16y3 + 48y2 cubic units. Which could be the base area and height of the prism?
a base area of 4y square units and height of 4y2 + 4y + 12 units
a base area of 8y2 square units and height of y2 + 2y + 4 units
a base area of 12y square units and height of 4y2 + 4y + 36 units
a base area of 16y2 square units and height of y2 + y + 3 units

Answer 1

Answer: 4. A base area of 16y^2 square units and height of y^2 + y + 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distributive property; you can see that 16y^2(y^2+y+3)=

16y^4+16y^3+48y^2
