Question

A square prism has a height of 16 centimeters and a volume of 784 cubic centimeters. What is the length in centimeters of each side of the square base

Answer 1

7cm

Explanation:

Volume of a prism = base area x height

base area = area of a square = length²

784 = length² x 16

divide both sides of the equation by 16

length² = 784/16

length² = 49

find the square root of both sides

length = 7
