Problema Solution
A rectangular prism has a volume of 13,200 cubic feet. The base has an area of 660 square feet and all three dimensions are a whole number. What are the dimensions of the rectangular prism?
Answer provided by our tutors
B = 660 ft^2 the area of the base
H = the height
V = 13,200 ft^3 the columne
V = (1/3)BH
(1/3)600H = 13200

........
H = 66 ft
B = width*length
width*length = 660
Since 660 = 11*60 we can assume the dimensions of the prism is: 11 ft, 60 ft and height of 66 ft.
