Question

Jen is going to make a sculpture from a rectangular block of clay. The volume

of the block is (3x + 2)(2x - 1)(x+6).
Which statement about the volume of the block of clay is true?
height x + 6
width 2x - 1
length 3x + 2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: answer c

Answer 2

C. The volume is the product of the area of the base, (3x+2)(2x-1), and the height (x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular block is defined as the product of its three dimensions

Therefore, we can say that:

Volume = length × width × height ................> equation I

The area of the base of a rectangular block is defined as the product of its length and width

Therefore, we can say that:

Area of base = length × width

Substitute with II in I, we can conclude that:

Volume of rectangular block = area of base × height

Comparing this with the given dimensions as well as the given choices

We can conclude that the correct choice is:

C. The volume is the product of the area of the base, (3x+2)(2x-1), and the height (x+6)

Hope this helps :)
