The volume of a rectangular prism is (x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 3), and the area of its base is (x2 – 2). If the volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its base area and height, what is the height of the prism?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The height of the prism would be [tex]\dfrac{x^3-3x^2+5x-3}{x^2-2}[/tex]

Explanation:

A rectangular prism is a three dimensional shape having six rectangular shaped sides. It is also known as a cuboid.

Further Explanation:

Volume of the prism, V = [tex]\dfrac{x^3-3x^2+ 5x-3}[/tex]

While, Base area, B = [tex]x^2-2[/tex]

Since, for a rectangular prism,

Volume is,

[tex]V = B\times H[/tex]

Where,

  • V = Volume of prism
  • H = Height of the prism
  • B = Base area of prism

By substituting the values,

[tex]x^3-3x^2 + 5x -3=(x^2-2)\times H[/tex]

Divide both sides by [tex](x^2-2)[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{x^3-3x^2+5x-3}{x^2-2}=H[/tex]

Hence, the height of the rectangular prism would be  [tex]\dfrac{x^3-3x^2+5x-3}{x^2-2}[/tex]

The volume of rectangular prism is [tex]x^{3}-3x^{2} +5x-3[/tex] and the area of its base is [tex](x^{2} -2)[/tex]

So, the height of the prism would be [tex]\frac{x^{3}-3x^{2} +5x-3 }{x^{2} -2}[/tex]

A rectangular prism is a three dimensional shape having six rectangular shaped sides. It is also known as a cuboid.

Given:-

        Volume of the prism, [tex]V=x^{3} -3x^{2} +5x-3[/tex]

         Base area, [tex]x^{2} -2[/tex]

Since, for a rectangular prism,

            Volume is,

           [tex]V=B[/tex]×[tex]H[/tex]

Where,

  • V = Volume of prism
  • H = Height of the prism
  • B = Base area of prism          

By substituting the values,

      [tex]x^{3} -3x^{2} +5x-3=(x^{2} -2)[/tex] ×[tex]H[/tex]

Divide both sides by [tex]x^{2} -2[/tex]

      [tex]\frac{x^{3}-3x^{2} +5x-3 }{x^{2} -2}=H\\[/tex]

Hence, the height of the rectangular prism would be [tex]\frac{x^{3}-3x^{2} +5x-3 }{x^{2} -2}[/tex]
