HELP!!

Directrix (directrix):

This is an odd question. The capital B represents the area of the base of the prism.

Directrix (directrix):

The volume of a prism is the base (B) times the length of its height(h). It appears from the options that you are to translate the words above into a formula. Look at the options. Which one is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess B @Directrix :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know :)

Directrix (directrix):

Not option B because there is no mention of (1/2) in the statement: The volume of a prism is the base (B) times the length of its height(h).

Directrix (directrix):

Don't think too hard. V = B * and then what? What we are doing is translating the formula in words into symbols.

Directrix (directrix):

There is no minus sign so option A is out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D?

Directrix (directrix):

That is correct.
