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?(1 point) Responses 75 square units 75 square units 200 square units 200 square units 25 square units 25 square units 100 square units

1 answer

The formula for the volume \( V \) of a right rectangular prism is given by:

\[ V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]

In this case, we are given the volume \( V = 50 \) cubic units and the height \( h = 2 \) units. We need to find the area of the base \( A \).

We can rearrange the formula to solve for the base area:

\[ \text{Base Area} = \frac{V}{h} \]

Substituting in the given values:

\[ \text{Base Area} = \frac{50}{2} = 25 \text{ square units} \]

Thus, the area of the base is 25 square units.
