Question

1. An aquarium is in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The aquarium has a height of 8 centimeters and a volume of 200 cubic centimeters. What is the area, in square centimeters, of the base of the aquarium?

Answer 1

The area, in square centimeters, of the base of the aquarium is 25
`cm^(2)`

Explanation:

Given:

• The height: 8 cm
• Volume : 200
  `cm^(3)`

As we know, the formula to find the volume of the a right rectangular prism is:

• V =height* the base area

In this problem, we have:

200 = 8* the base area

<=> the base area = 200/8 = 25
`cm^(2)`

So the area, in square centimeters, of the base of the aquarium is 25
`cm^(2)`

Hope it will find you well.
