Q1.A rectangular prism has a volume of 840 in.³ the height of the prism at 6 inches and the width is 10 inches find the length of the prison and explain how you found it.
Answers
Explanation:
Given
Volume of Rectangular prism = 840 inch ³
Height of the prism = 6 inches
breadth of the prism = 10 inches
To Find
We have to find its length
Since, the prism is in the shape of Rectangle and have height ,breadth & length so ,it will be the cuboid.We have given breadth ,height and volume of cuboid and have to find its length. So,in order to find length we would apply formula for volume of cuboid.
Volume of cuboid = ℓ×Ъ×н
Where ℓ = length
\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: Ъ=breadth
\&\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:& н=height
➙Volume of cuboid= 840
➙length ×10×6= 840
➙ℓ× 60= 840
➙ℓ= 840÷60
➙ℓ= 84/6=14
Hence,length of the prism is 14 inches
Check:
Volume of cuboid= 14×10×6
Volume of cuboid= 140×6= 840 in.³
Answer:
volume of rectangular prism = L × B × H
840 = L × 10 × 6
840 = L × 60
L = 840/60
L = 14
