Given:
Base dimensions of a rectangular prism = 15 cm × x cm
The height of the prism = 8 cm
Volume of the prism = 600 cm.
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
Base area of the prism is:
[tex]B=length\times width[/tex]
[tex]B=15\times x[/tex]
[tex]B=15x[/tex]
Volume of the prism is:
[tex]V=Bh[/tex]
Where, B is the base area and h is the height of the prism.
Putting [tex]V=600,B=15x,h=8[/tex], we get
[tex]600=15x\times 8[/tex]
[tex]600=(8)(15)x[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{600}{(8)(15)}=x[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is C.
