Given:

Base dimensions of a rectangular prism = 15 cm × x cm

The height of the prism = 8 cm

Volume of the prism = 600 cm.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Base area of the prism is:


B=length* width


B=15* x


B=15x

Volume of the prism is:


V=Bh

Where, B is the base area and h is the height of the prism.

Putting
V=600,B=15x,h=8, we get


600=15x* 8


600=(8)(15)x


(600)/((8)(15))=x

Therefore, the correct option is C.
