a right rectangular prism has a area of 20 sqaure units and a hight of 3 units what is the volume

Answer 1

To find the volume of a right rectangular prism, you multiply the area of the base by the height.

Given that the area is 20 square units and the height is 3 units, let's denote the length of the base as x.

We have the formula:

x * x = 20

Simplifying this equation, we have:

x^2 = 20

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

x = √20

The volume of the prism is then:

Volume = Base Area * Height
Volume = x * x * 3
Volume = (√20)^2 * 3
Volume = 20 * 3
Volume = 60 cubic units.

Therefore, the volume of the right rectangular prism is 60 cubic units.
