???

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Post with many people viewing ended up being deleted fall the time. Anyway, A rectangular prism, representing a book, has a LENGTH of 1 inch, a width of ten inches, and a height of twelve inches. \[1 \times 10\] is the base So, base times height,\[10 \times 12\] I think the final answer then is 120.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I between B and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But there is no answer like that

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Agh, 7 boks? so if the volume of each is 120, the volume of 7 books is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eight hundred forty cubic inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyways i GTG

OpenStudy (anonymous):

840?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can u guys help me with another one plz?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@ineedu : I asked you what the volume of ONE book is and Solomon has shown you how to get that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A rectangular prism has a volume of eight hundred ten cubic millimeters. If it has a height of 9 millimeters, what's the area of its base? 10 mm.2 90 mm.2 729 mm.2 7,290 mm.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I work it out my seld and 7,290 is not it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant my self not my seld

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@ineedu : Please do not just ask for answers or for others to tell you whether you're right or not. Instead, show what you have done yourself towards finding a solution. Then others could guide you towards the correct solution, with YOU doing the work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got between A AND B LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I work out the problem and I got 90? now guide me plz

OpenStudy (mathmale):

How did you obtain that 90?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I: divided 180 and 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

810 i meant not 180

OpenStudy (mathmale):

thank you. This is the kind of info I was asking you to share. That's fine; you're right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 90 it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have one more question??? Can u help meh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In general, how can the volume of any prism or cylinder be found? Multiply length by width by height. Multiply length of the base by height of the figure. Multiply length by itself three times. Multiply area of the base by height of the figure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I work it out and it is not B

OpenStudy (mathmale):

If you wish to discuss other problems, please post them separately, one by one. Look at it this way: \[\frac{ 810 mm ^{3} }{ 9 mm }=\frac{ volume }{height }=base.area.\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got: D

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Explain, please, how you got D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well as those two figures have a base we will have to multiply the base and the height

OpenStudy (mathmale):

All right. Seeing how you arrived at your answer, I'm willing to confirm that you're right. If you're going to post more problems, please post them separately, one by one. Than you.
