Question

Whitney is making a strawberry cake for her brothers birthday. The cake on is a right rectangular prism 20 cm wide by 28 cm long. Whitney puts 1848 cm

Answer 1

3.3

Explanation:

28 cm x 20 cm x h = 1848 cm^3

Solve for h:

560 cm^2 x h = 1848 cm^3

h = 3.3cm

Answer 2

The cake batter is 3.3 cm deep.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The cake pan is in the form of a rectangular prism.

The volume of a rectangular prism is the product of the area of the base and the height of the prism.

The area of the base is the product of the base's length and width.

The pan is 28 cm long and 20 cm wide.

The area of the base
`= (28)(20) = 560` cm².

Step 2:

The product of the base area and the height of the prism gives us its volume.

The volume of the batter is given as 1848 cm³.

Assume the height of the cake batter is x cm (depth of the batter).

`(560)x = 1,848.`

`x= (1,848)/(560) = 3.3.`

So the cake batter is 3.3 cm deep.
