Look at the rectangular prism below.
The area of rectangle CAEG is 15 cm².
The area of rectangle ABFE is 24 cm².
Calculate the volume of the rectangular prism ABCDEFGH.
Look at the rectangular prism below.
The area of rectangle CAEG is 15 cm².
The area of rectangle ABFE is 24 cm².
Calculate the volume of the rectangular prism ABCDEFGH.
Since we are given the area of rectangle CAEG and length AE, we can find GE:
Let's denote GE as X and substitute the data in the rectangle area formula:
Let's divide both sides by 3:
Therefore GE equals 5
Since we are given the area of rectangle ABFE and length AE, we can find EF:
Let's denote EF as Y and substitute the data in the rectangle area formula:
Let's divide both sides by 3:
Therefore EF equals 8
Now we can calculate the volume of the box:
