Find the area of the base of a straight prism whose volume is 120cm ^ 3 and the height is 8cm.

From the condition it is known that we are given a rectangular prism with a volume of 120 cm ^ 3, as well as a height of 8 cm. Find the area of its base.

Let’s start by recalling the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism:

V = S main * h.

That is, the volume of a rectangular prism is equal to the product of the base of the prism and the height.

In order to find the area of the base, we express it from the formula:

Sb = V / h.

Now we plug in the known values and calculate:

Sbn = 120/8 = 15 cm ^ 2 base area.
