The volume of a right rectangular prism is found by multiplying the length, width, and height.
Given that the base is 15 inches squared and the height is 5 inches, we need to find the length and width.
To find the length and width, divide the area of the base (15 in²) by the height (5 inches):
15 in² ÷ 5 inches = 3 inches
So, the length and width of the base are both 3 inches.
Now, calculate the volume:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Volume = 3 inches × 3 inches × 5 inches
Volume = 45 inches³
Therefore, the volume of the gift box will be 45 cubic inches.
