Question

If a square prism has a volume of 104 cubic centimeters and a height of eight centimeters, explain how to find the area of the side that is a square.

Answer 1

Answer: 3.6cm

Explanation:

`V=a^2h`

Using the volume formula; solve for a;

`a^2=(V)/(h)\\ a=\sqrt[]{(V)/(h) }`

`a=\sqrt[]{(104cm^3)/(8cm) }`

`a=\sqrt[]{13cm^2}`

`a=3.6cm`
