A square prism has a volume of 500 cubic centimeters. If the height of the prism is 4 times the length of the base, how long is each side of the base?

Question

 dO U KNOW DA WAY TO THE VOLUME A TRIANGULAR PRISM

 

Answer 1

Let s = the length of the base

Let 4s = the length of the height

V = BH       Since the base is a square, B = s²

V = s² H

500 = s²(4s)

125 = s³

s = 5 cm

4s = 20 cm - the height
