Answer:

The length of a side of the base is
5\ in

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to


V=Bh

where

B is the area of the base of the prism

h is the height of the prism

we have


V=175\ in^(3)


h=7\ in

Substitute the values and solve for B


175=B(7)


B=175/(7)


B=25\ in^(2)

Remember that the base is a square

so


25=b^(2)


b=5\ in
