A cereal box has a height of 32 centimeters with a base area of 160 square centimeters what is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of the cereal box

The volume formula is length x width x height. Since you already have the base (length x width) you just need to multiply that times the height. This means you do 32 x 160, which equals 5,120 cubic cm

The volume of a rectangular prism is:

l*w*h

Where l, w, and h represent the length, width, and height of the prism. The base of the prism is essentially just the width times the height, so that part is already done for us. All we have left to do is to multiply the height to the base.

160 x 32 = 5120 m³ should be the volume of the cereal box.

Hope this helped! ^-^
