Question

part a jaime drew the rectangular prism shown below. draw a different rectangular prism with the same volume as jaime’s. 4 cm 2 cm 5 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Jaime's prism volume

The volume formula for a rectangular - prism is $V = l\times w\times h$. For Jaime's prism, $l = 5$ cm, $w = 2$ cm, $h = 4$ cm. So $V=5\times2\times4 = 40$ $cm^{3}$.

Step2: Find new dimensions

We need to find different values of length ($l$), width ($w$), and height ($h$) such that $l\times w\times h=40$. For example, if $l = 10$ cm, $w = 2$ cm, $h = 2$ cm, then $V = 10\times2\times2=40$ $cm^{3}$.

Answer:

Draw a rectangular prism with length 10 cm, width 2 cm and height 2 cm. (There are other possible answers like $l = 4$ cm, $w = 4$ cm, $h = 2.5$ cm etc.)
