The formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism is given by:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
We are given that the volume is 50 cubic units and the height is 2 units. Let's assume the length and width are represented by "x" and "y" units, respectively.
Therefore, the equation becomes:
50 = x * y * 2
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get:
25 = x * y
To find the area of the base, we need to find the product of the length and width, which is given by:
Area of Base = Length x Width = x * y
Since we have already found that x * y = 25, the area of the base is 25 square units.
Therefore, the answer is (b) 25 square units.
using the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism, what is the area of the base when the volume is 50 cubic units and the height is 2?
a 200 square units
b 25 square units
c 75 square units
d 100 square units
