Question

The base of a rectangular prism is 40 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide. The height of the prism is 2 centimeters. Write two different equations that represent the volume of the prism.

Answer 1

400 cm³

Explanation:

Volume of a prism

= base area × height

= (40 × 5) × 2

Volume = 200 × 2

This prism is a cuboid

Volume of a cuboid

= length × breadth × height

Volume = 40 × 5 × 2

Answer 2

400

Explanation:

Since Length x Width x Height = Volume

All you need to do is plug it in so it would be 40 x 5 x 2

and that would give you 400 cm for your volume
