Answer:
The length of each side of the square base is [tex]2\sqrt{15}\ m[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The volume of a square prism is equal to
[tex]V=b^{2}h[/tex]
where
B is the length side of the square base
h is the height of the prism
we have
[tex]V=960\ m^{3}[/tex]
[tex]h=16\ m[/tex]
substitute and solve for b
[tex]960=b^{2}16[/tex]
[tex]b^{2}=960/16[/tex]
[tex]b=\sqrt{60}\ m[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]b=2\sqrt{15}\ m[/tex]
