Question

You are building a curio cabinet in the form of a rectangular prism that must be 4 feet tall with a volume of 48 cubic feet. The length and with each must be no more than tot. Which of the following dimensions are the possible width and length of the cabinet? a) 15 foot by feet b) 24 feet by 5 foot c) 25 feet by 4.8 feet d) 3 feet by 4 feet e) 4 feet by 12 feet 19

Answer 1

d) 3 feet by 4 feet

Explanation:

Volume of the prism = 48 feet³

Height if the prism = 4 feet

To determine the possible values of the length and width of the prism let's divide the volume by the height.

So 48/4 = 12

So we'll be looking for a product of two numbers to give us 12

And it's between 12 and 1, 4 and 3 , and 6 and 2.

We have only 4 and 3 in the option.
