Monica is constructing a box in the shape of a right rectangular prism to hold grain on her farm. Use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism to find the area of the base when the volume is 50 cubic feet and the height is 4 feet.(1 point)

Answer 1

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

In this case, the volume (V) is given as 50 cubic feet and the height (h) is given as 4 feet. We need to find the area of the base, which is equal to the product of the length and width (l x w).

To find the length and width, we can rearrange the formula for the volume and solve for l and w:

V = lwh
50 = lwh
50/4 = lw
12.5 = lw

So, the area of the base (l x w) is 12.5 square feet.
