Question

The volume of a square prism is 84 cubic meters. If the base area is 14meters, What is the length?

Answer 1

i assume by length you mean height?

Answer 2

Yes sorry

Answer 3

\[V = \text{base area}\times \text{height}\]

Answer 4

so we have x^2 = 14 right?

Answer 5

and that gives me the answer? @lgbasallote

Answer 6

what? @zzr0ck3r

Answer 7

its a square with area 14, how long are the sides?

Answer 8

yes @eAnthonyR

Answer 9

Answer=1176?

Answer 10

@lgbasallote

Answer 11

?

Answer 12

no...

Answer 13

remember what's given to you are V and base area...you're looking for height

Answer 14

so 84=14*h?

Answer 15

So divide both sides right? @lgbasallote

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

6 is the answer

Answer 18

im confused

Answer 19

wait 6 or 6m^2?

Answer 20

@lgbasallote

Answer 21

length will be m

Answer 22

If this is a cube, and the base is a square with area 14 how is the length not sqrt(14)?

Answer 23

Cause its height instead of length man. @zzr0ck3r

Answer 24

but its a cube, they should all be the same?

Answer 25

o snap I see I read wrong

Answer 26

that was why i asked immediately =)) it seemed fishy

Answer 27

I for some reason thought I read cube...sorry

Answer 28

yeah square prism made me think of cube when i first saw them

Answer 29

the height of a hexagonal prism is 6ft. Its base edges all equal 4ft. Find its volume

Answer 30

what is the area of a hexagon?

Answer 31

The hexagon has 6 sides and 6 vertices.
Label the vertices A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Draw a line from A → D, B → E, and C→ F.
The lines intersect at the center of the hexagon.
You should see 6 triangles.
The area of the hexagon = 6 * area of 1 triangle.
then multiply that by 6

Answer 32

make sense?
