Ben used unit cubes to build a right rectangular prism with a volume of 120 cubic
units. The height of the prism in 10 units.
What figure could be the bottom layer of the prism?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

120 / 10 = 12

The bottom layer of the prism could be rectangle.

What is prism?

Prism is  a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygon base, a second base which is a translated copy of the first, and n other faces, necessarily all parallelograms, joining corresponding sides of the two bases.

Volume of prism [tex]= Width*Height*Length[/tex]

We have,

Volume of prism [tex]=120[/tex] cubic units

And,

The height of the prism [tex]=10[/tex] units

Now,

Using the formula mentioned above,

Volume of prism [tex]= Width*Height*Length= Area*Height[/tex]

So,

We can get area of base,

i.e.

[tex]120= Area*10[/tex]

[tex]Area = 12[/tex] square units

As mentioned in the question ,

It is to be a rectangular prism , so bottom layer is of rectangle.

Hence we can say that the bottom layer of the prism could be rectangle.
