Final answer:

Without additional information about the height or area of the base of the prism, it is impossible to determine the base length from the volume alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the base length of a prism when the volume is known, one must have additional information about the prism, such as the area of the base or other dimensions. Since the question does not provide any information about the height or the area of the base, we cannot calculate the base length solely from the volume. Typically, the volume of a prism is calculated using the formula V = base area × height. Without knowing either the base area or the height of the prism in this question, we cannot find the base length. Thus, we cannot choose from the provided options (10 inches, 12 inches, 13 inches, 15 inches) without additional information about the prism.
