The base of a rectangular prism(b) = 41 in.
Explanation:
Given,
The height of a rectangular prism(h) = 3 in and
The perimeter of a rectangular prism = 88 in
To find, the base of a rectangular prism(b) = ?
We know that,
The perimeter of a rectangular prism = 2l + 2b or 2b + 2h or 2h + 2l
∴ 2b + 2(3) = 88
⇒ 2b = 88 - 6
⇒ 2b = 82
⇒ b = 41 in
Thus, the base of a rectangular prism(b) = 41 in.
