Answer:
The 12 represents area of base of cuboid.
The 5 represents height of cuboid.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
DeAndre calculated the volume of the cuboid in three ways:
V= 12.5
V= 15.4
V=20.3
To find: what the 12 and the 5 represent in the figure
Solution:
Volume of cuboid is equal to length × breadth × height
or Area of the base of cuboid × height
Length = 4 units
Breadth = 3 units
So, area of base of cuboid = length × breadth = 4 × 3 = 12 square units
Height of cuboid = 5 units
The 12 represents area of base of cuboid.
The 5 represents height of cuboid.
