Question from Paula, a parent: Trying to help with a math problem. I don't know how to set up the equation for this. A rectangular prism has a volume of 7.875m3rd and a height of 3.5 m. What is the area of the base of the prism? Thanks for your help! |
Hi Paula,
The volume of a prism is the area of the base times the height. You have a volume of $7.875 m^3$ and a height of $3.5 m.$ Can you solve for the area of the base?
