Answer:

10 in * 7in

Explanation:

Given that :

Volume of block = 350 in³

Height of block = 5 inches

The dimension of block can be expressed cubic units

Volume of a rectangular prism :

V = length * width * height

Let ; length * width = B

350 = B * 5

B = 350 / 5

B = 70 in²

Possible dimension of B:

B = length *width

70 in² = 10 in * 7in

Hence, possible whole number dimension for the base = 10 in * 7in
