Question

Troy used unit cubes to build a rectangular prism that is 5 units tall and has a volume of 100 cubic units. Then he used unit cubes to build a second rectangular prism. It is 5 units tall and has twice the volume of the first prism. Which statement is true?

A. The second prism has a volume of 250 cubic units.
B. The second prism has a volume of 200 cubic units.
C. The second prism has a volume of 150 cubic units.
D. The second prism has a volume of 50 cubic units.

Answer 1

The volume of the second rectangular prism is 200 cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the first rectangular prism is given as 100 cubic units. To find the volume of the second prism, we need to double the volume of the first prism. Doubling the volume means multiplying it by 2. So, the volume of the second prism is 100 cubic units multiplied by 2, which is equal to 200 cubic units. Therefore, statement B is true.
