The image shows a rectangular prism (or box) with a height of 2 cm and a base area of 20 cm².

To calculate the volume of this prism, you use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

$\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}$

In this case:

• Base Area = 20 cm²
• Height = 2 cm

So, the volume of the box is:

$\text{Volume} = 20 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 2 \, \text{cm} = 40 \, \text{cm}^3$

Therefore, the volume of the box is 40 cm³.

2. What would the volume be if the height were doubled?
3. If the base area were increased by 50%, what would be the new volume?
4. How do you calculate the dimensions of the base if only the area is known?
5. What is the significance of the volume in practical applications?

Tip: Always make sure to use consistent units when performing calculations involving volume, area, and height!
