Question

A clear file box shaped like a rectangular prism is modeled below. The shaded part represents one base of the box. A formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is V = Bh. Which equation can be used to find B, the area of the shaded base of the box in square inches? (A) B = 1/2(19)(14) (B) B = 19 + 14 (C) B = (19)(14) (D) B = 2(19) + 2(14) ​

Answer 1

C. B = (19)(14)

Explanation:

Given:

length (l) = 19 in.

width (w) = 14 in.

height (h) = 11 in.

Formula for volume of the rectangular prism = Bh

Base area (B) = l*w

Base area (B) = (19)(14) in.²

Formula for finding base area: B = (19)(14)
