Respuesta :

A rectangular prism with a volume of 400 cubic centimeters has dimensions of 5 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm with the value of x being 4.

What is the volume of the rectangular prism?

The volume of the rectangular prism is the product of the length, breadth, and height of the given prism.

Volume of rectangular prism = (length x width x height)

A rectangular prism with a volume of 400 cubic centimeters has the dimensions x + 1 centimeter, 2x centimeters, and x + 6 centimeters.

Volume of rectangular prism = (length x width x height)

      400 cm³  =( x + 1 )(2x)(x + 6 )

        400 cm³  =( x + 1 )(2x)(x + 6 )

Substitute 4cm as the value of x.

x + 1 centimeters = 4 cm + 1 cm = 5 cm

2x centimeters = 2 ( 4cm) = 8 cm

x + 6 centimeters = 4 cm + 6 cm = 10 cm

Volume of rectangular prism  = 10 cm × 5 cm × 8 cm

           = 400 cm³

Thus, the given rectangular prism of 400 cubic centimeters has dimensions of 5 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm.
