Question

The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is V = Bh. A rectangular prism with dimensions _________ will have a volume of 150 cubic units.

Answer 1

Answer: 10 * 5 * 3

Explanation:

We want to find a base and a height that will multiply together to equal 150
`units^(3)`.

One solution is a
`B = 50 units^(3)` and
`h = 3 units^(3)`.

Thus we need a length and width of the base that will multiply together to equal 50
`units^(2)`. One solution is 10 units * 5 units.

Putting this all together, we have a solution of 10 units * 5 units * 3 units, which will have volume of 150 cubic units.
