Question

THE VOLUME OF A RECTANGULAR PRISM IS 189 CM^3 THE HEIGHT OF THE PRISM IS 3 CM WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE BASE?

Answer 1

The area of the rectangular base of the prism is equal to
`63\ cm^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

`V=Bh`

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the prism

In this problem we have

`V=189\ cm^(3)`

`h=3\ cm`

Substitute in the formula and solve for B

`189=B(3)`

`B=189/3=63\ cm^(2)`
