Answer 1

The area of the plastic mat on the bottom of the cage is
`310\ in^2`

Explanation:

The correct volume of the question is 8,680 cubic inches

we know that

The volume of the rectangular prism (Eloise's rabbit cage) is equal to

`V=Bh`

where

B is the area of the base of rectangular prism

h is the height of the prism

we have

`V=8,680\ in^3`

`h=28\ in`

substitute in the formula and solve for B

`8,680=B(28)`

`B=8,680/(28)`

`B=310\ in^2`
