Answer 1

To find the area of the base of the right rectangular prism, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

Given that the volume is 50 cubic feet and the height is 4 feet, we can plug in these values and rearrange the formula to solve for the area of the base:

50 = Length x Width x 4
50 = 4 * Length * Width
12.5 = Length * Width

Therefore, the area of the base of the right rectangular prism is 12.5 square feet.
