Question

If the volume of a prism is 30m3 and it’s height is 5m what is the area of the base

Answer 1

6
`m^(2)`

Explanation:

Any prism volume is V = BH where B is area of base and H is height of prism,

B = 1/2 h(b1+b2) since B is the area of the base

`(v)/(h)`=B if we solve for B from the volume formula

which gives:
`(30m^(3) )/(5m)` and the units cancel out to leave 6
`m^(2)` is the area of the base
