Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is m^3+8m^2+19m+12 Find the area of the base of the prism if the height = m + 3.

Answer 1

volume of rectangular prism = (base area) * (height)

so what we have to do is

(volume) / height = base area

so
base area = (m^3+8m^2+19m+12)/(m + 3)

can you try to factor the numerator ?

Answer 2

m^2+5m+4

Answer 3

very good
