Answer 1

360in²

Explanation:

The base of the rectangular prism is a rectangle. Since we are to find the area of the base of the cabinet, then we just need to get the area of the rectangle.

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Given

Length = 9in

Width = 40in

Area of the base = LW

Area of the base = 9 * 40

Area of the base = 360in²

Therefore the area of the base of the cabinet in square inches is 360in²
