Rhonda has an extra credit project to make a rectangular prism with the volume of at last 24 in? If the area of her base in which to the possible ogs, of her prism in order to meet her teacher's requirements? A Oh=4 в Ohев CO4 DOns 8

Answer 1

Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

The volume of rectangular prism (at least) = 24 in^3

Area of the base = 6 in^2

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by:

`\begin{gathered} V\le A\cdot h \\ V=24in^3 \\ A=6in^2 \\ \text{h=?} \\ 24\le6\cdot h \\ 24\le6h\Rightarrow6h\ge24 \\ 6h\ge24 \\ h\ge(24)/(6)=4 \\ h\ge4 \end{gathered}`

To have a rectangular prism of at least 24 in^3, the height must be greater than or equal to 4

Therefore, A (h >= 4) is the correct answer
