Question 979880: Translate the sentence into a mathematical equation. Be sure to identify the meaning of all symbols.
The volume of a right prism is the area of the base times the height of the prism.
a. If V represents the volume, B the area of the base, and h the height, then V=B+h
b. If V represents the volume, B the area of the base, and h the height, then V=Bh
c. If V represents the volume, B the area of the base, and h the height, then V=1/2Bh
d. If V represents the volume, B the area of the base, and h the height, then V=B/h
I can not wrap my brain around it. (((
please help
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! V = volume
B = area of the base
"is" means "equals"
h = height of prism
use the symbol * to represent multiplication
-------------------------------------------------------
The volume of a right prism is the area of the base times the height of the prism
The volume of a right prism is the area of the base times the height of the prism
V=B*h
V = Bh
Note: B*h is the same as Bh. The two letters put together like that implies multiplication.
-------------------------------------------------------
Final Answer: The volume of the prism is V = Bh which is choice B
