Question

If the volume of a rectangular prism is $130c{m}^3$ and if its height is 5 cm, then find the area of its base.

Answer 1

Given:
$Volume=130c{m}^3$
$Height=5cm$

$\text{Volume of a prism}=\text{Area of its base}\times Height$
$\Rightarrow 130=\text{Area of the base}\times 5\Rightarrow \text{Area of the base}=\frac{130}{5}=26c{m}^2$

Hence, the area of the base of the prism is $26c{m}^2$.
