Answer:
Part 1) The area of the base of the rectangular prism is [tex]18\ cm^{2}[/tex]
Part 2) The height of the rectangular prism is equal to [tex]6\ cm[/tex]
Part 3) The volume of the rectangular prism is [tex]108\ cm^{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) What is the area of the base of the rectangular prism?
we know that
The base of the rectangular prism is the rectangle ABCD
so
AD=BC and AB=DC
The area B of the rectangle is equal to
[tex]B=AD*DC[/tex]
substitute
[tex]B=(9)(2)=18\ cm^{2}[/tex]
Part 2) What is the height of the rectangular prism?
The height of the rectangular prism is equal to the segment line AW (segment perpendicular to the base)
we have that
[tex]H=AW=BX=DY=CZ=6\ cm[/tex]
Part 3) What is the volume of the rectangular prism?
we know that
The volume of the rectangular prism is equal to
[tex]V=BH[/tex]
where
B is the area of the base of the prism
H is the height of the prism
we have
[tex]B=18\ cm^{2}[/tex]
[tex]H=6\ cm[/tex]
substitute
[tex]V=(18)(6)=108\ cm^{3}[/tex]
