Which expression can be used to find the volume of the rectangular prism in cubic centimeters?

85 cm Area of base: 245 cm 2

85 + 245
85 x 85 x 245
85 + (85 x 245)
85 x 245

1 answer

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Area of base} \times \text{Height} \]

In this case, the area of the base is given as \(245 , \text{cm}^2\) and the height (which you can interpret as one of the dimensions of the prism) is given as \(85 , \text{cm}\).

So, the correct expression to calculate the volume would be:

\[ \text{Volume} = 245 , \text{cm}^2 \times 85 , \text{cm} \]

This corresponds to the option:

85 x 245

Thus, this is the expression that can be used to find the volume of the rectangular prism in cubic centimeters.
