Question

What is the volume of a square prism whose base edges are 3 meters and height is 10 meters?

A. 300 m3

B.30 m3

C.90 m3

D.27 m3

Answer 1

find the area of the base and multiply by the height

area of a square A = l^2 where l is the side length

Volume of a Prism

V = Base Area x height

Answer 2

kan u jes give the answa... idk ne of this mess

Answer 3

this is a study group, so if you dont understand something; feel free to ask questions about.

Answer 4

well i dont undastand none of this && ik dat.

Answer 5

@campbell_st is it 30?

Answer 6

Area of the square is

A = 3 x 3 = 9

Volume V = 9 x 10 = 90

units are metres cubed m3

Answer 7

ok.. i thnk i was multiplying

Answer 8

you were on the right track with it :)

3*10 = 30 , but with volume we have a 3rd number to deal with.



that base is spose to be square :/

Answer 9

im lost..

Answer 10

turn left

Answer 11

waat?

Answer 12

turn left.. lol...its a joke..

well, the drawing amistre64 put should help you understand the problem

Answer 13

well...it dont... im jes as lost still

Answer 14

as campbellst said, the volume of a prism is

V=Base * Height
or
V= Lenght * width * height

Answer 15

from the drawing @amistre64 put the base of the prism is a square and thus the base is the area of the square or Length * Width
knowing that the sides are 3, could you tell me what the base is?

Answer 16

without knowing what your lost on, its hard to come up with something that will help guide you.

What is losing you?

do you know what a square is? what a base is? what height is? what a side is? what an area is? without being aboe to read your mind, its hard to know what we have to work with ...

you have to be more specific in what it is you are misunderstanding.

Answer 17

bt it dnt have the width

Answer 18

ah, then its the square thing thats got you baffled

Answer 19

well, since its a square all sides are the same. so if they tell you that length or size of the

Answer 20

base edges are 3, then all sides are 3. so both length and width are 3

Answer 21

no...yall sed..
V= Length * width * height
bt it dnt have the width...
so how do u knw wat it is?

Answer 22

o.. ok. thnxxx
so will it b 27?

Answer 23

the base gives us the length and width

the base is a square

the length and width of a square are equal values

the length of a square = 3, the width of a square = 3

the height of the prism is given as 10

length*width*height: 3*3*10

Answer 24

90?

Answer 25

you got it!

Answer 26

im going to go with 90 yes ;)

Answer 27

thnxx both of u
