Question

The oblique rectangular prism below has a length of 6 cm, a width of 8 cm, and a height of 7 cm.

What is the area of the base of the prism?
___square centimeters
What is the volume of the prism?
___cubic centimeters

Answer 1

I believe the base would be 8*6.
And the volume is 8*6*7.

Base = 48cm²
Volume = 336cm³

Answer 2

The base area of the prism is calculated as -

Area of prism = Length X Width

We are given that, length = 6 cm and width = 8 cm

Thus, area of prism = 6 cm X 8 cm = 48 cm²

Now, the volume of prism will be calculated as -

Volume of prism = Length X Width X Height

We are given height as = 7 cm

So, volume of prism will be = 6 cm X 8 cm X 7 cm

Volume of prism will be = 336 cm³
