Question

Please help me I will give branliest to the best answer given, any inappropriate answers will be reported!

For her science project, Jada wants to build a rectangular prism out of foam block. The block should have a volume of 350 cubic inches and a height of 5 inches.

Part A: what tool can help Jada find possible dimensions for the base of the block? Explain.

Part B: Give one pair of possible whole-number dimensions for the base.

Appreciated if you answer at least part A, Thank you! :)

Answer 1

Part A: what tool can help Jada find possible dimensions for the base of the block? Explain.

     I am not sure what a "tool" is by their wording, but we can use the formula for volume to solve for the base.

-> B is the base, length times width, and H is the height

V = B * H

350 in³ = B * 5 in

70 in² = B

  Answer: The base will be 70 in²

Part B: Give one pair of possible whole-number dimensions for the base.

     Since we know the base will be 70 in², we can find a possible pair of whole-number dimensions for the base.

B = L * W

70 in² = L * W

     Now we just need to find pairs of whole numbers that multiply to 70:

70 / 2 = 35

  Answer: A possible pair of whole-number dimensions for the base is 2 and 35.
