The volume of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
In this case, the base of the gift box has an area of 15 inches squared. Let's assume the length of the base is L and the width is W. So, we have the equation LW = 15.
The height of the gift box is given as 5 inches. Therefore, the volume of the gift box can be calculated as V = LWH = (L)(W)(5) = 5LW.
From the equation LW = 15, we can solve for L or W. Let's solve for L:
LW = 15
L = 15/W
Substituting this value of L into the volume equation:
V = 5LW = 5(15/W)W = 75.
Therefore, the volume of the gift box will be 75 cubic inches.
A gift box is being constructed in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The base is 15 inches squared and the height is 5 inches. What will the volume of the gift box be?(1 point)
