To find the dimensions of the rectangular base, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular box:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

Given that the volume is 2860 and the height is 40 cm, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the dimensions of the base:

2860 = Length x Width x 40

Now, let's find possible dimensions by factoring 2860:

2860 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 11 x 13

To find the dimensions of the base, we need to divide these factors into the length and width in different combinations. Here are a few possible options:

Option 1:

Length = 2 x 5 x 11 = 110 cm

Width = 2 x 13 = 26 cm

Option 2:

Length = 2 x 2 x 11 = 44 cm

Width = 5 x 13 = 65 cm

Option 3:

Length = 2 x 2 x 13 = 52 cm

Width = 5 x 11 = 55 cm

These are just a few examples, and there could be other combinations of factors that give a volume of 2860 with a height of 40 cm.
