Question 250878
volume = height * area of base.


let v = volume, h = height, a = area of base.


v = h*a


solve for a to get:


a = v/h


v = 48
h = 2


a = 48/2 = 24


the area of the base is 24 square inches.


24 = 1*24 = 2*12 = 3*8 = 4*6


possible dimensions for the base where the dimensions are in whole numbers are:
