Correctly arranged question is;
Rita is playing a game by rolling a rectangular prism made up of cubes. The prism is 6 cubes wide, 3 cubes high, and 4 cubes deep. Rita rolls the cube and says that the top view is a 6-unit by 4-unit rectangle.
Which statement explains whether Rita could be correct?
A) Rita could be correct because the cube could land so the 3-cube height and the 4-cube depth make up the top face of the cube.
B) Rita could be correct because the cube could land so the 6-cube width and the 4-cube depth make up the top face of the cube.
C) Rita could not be correct because the top face of the cube is made up of the 6-cube width and the 4-cube depth.
D) Rita could not be correct because the top face of the cube is made up of the 6-cube width and the 3-cube height.
Answer:
Option B: Rita could be correct because the cube could land so the 6-cube width and the 4-cube depth make up the top face of the cube.
Explanation:
We are told the dimensions of the prism are;
Width = 6 cubes wide
Height = 3 cubes high
Depth = 4 cubes deep.
We are further told that when she rolls that the top view is a 6-unit by 4-unit
For the top view to be 6 unit x 4 unit, it means that the top face is showing the width and depth sides from the dimensions we were earlier given.
Therefore, from the options given, the only one that depicts what I just explained is Option B which says:
The cube could land in such a way that the top face is made up of the 6-cube width and the 4-cube depth
