Answer:
FOR LETTER A
Volume of prism (expression) = Length x Width/Breadth x Height
Volume of prism (expression) = 8 units x 7 units x 3 units = 168 cubic units
FOR LETTER B
Area of the shaded base = 8 x 7 = 56 square units
Volume of prism = Area of the shaded base x Height
Volume of prism = 56 square units x 3 units = 168 cubic units
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of rectangular prism, we multiply the length of the prism by the width of the prism by the height of the prism.
Volume of rectangular prism = length × width × height
To get the area of the shaded base, when the base is in rectangular shape:
Definition: Area of rectangle is the region occupied by a rectangle within it's four sides or boundaries.
The area of a rectangle depends on its sides. Basically, the formula for area is equal to the product of length and breadth of the rectangle. Whereas when we speak about the perimeter of a rectangle, it is equal to the sum of all its four sides. Hence, we can say, the region enclosed by the perimeter of the rectangle is its area. But in the case of a square, since all the sides are equal, therefore, the area of the square will be equal to the square of side-length.
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
A = l × b
