Answer:

The 12 represents area of base of cuboid.

The 5 represents height of cuboid.

Explanation:

Given:

DeAndre calculated the volume of the cuboid in three ways:

V= 12.5

V= 15.4

V=20.3

To find: what the 12 and the 5 represent in the figure

Solution:

Volume of cuboid is equal to length × breadth × height

or Area of the base of cuboid × height

Length = 4 units

Breadth = 3 units

So, area of base of cuboid = length × breadth = 4 × 3 = 12 square units

Height of cuboid = 5 units

The 12 represents area of base of cuboid.

The 5 represents height of cuboid.
