Answer 1

To determine the volume of a prism, the formula used is:

\[
V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]

In this case, you are given that the area of the base is 24 square centimeters and the height is 10 centimeters. Therefore, you should use the equation that represents this relationship.

The correct choice from the options provided is:

**A**:
\[
V = 24 \times 10
\]

This correctly reflects the formula for the volume of a prism. The other options involve either different formulas or elements that do not apply to the standard calculation of volume for a prism.
