Respuesta :

Answer:

The height of the prism is [tex]1\frac{1}{6}[/tex] units ⇒ answer a

The number of blocks needed is 133 ⇒ answer c

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The volume of a rectangular prism is

→ V = Area of the base × its height

- The volume of the rectangular prism is [tex]3\frac{25}{36}[/tex] units³

- The area of its base is [tex]3\frac{1}{6}[/tex] units²

- Substitute the values of the volume and area of the base in the rule

∴ [tex]3\frac{25}{36}=3\frac{1}{6}*h[/tex]

- Divide the two sides by [tex]3\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

∴ [tex]h=\frac{7}{6}=1\frac{1}{6}[/tex] units

* The height of the prism is [tex]1\frac{1}{6}[/tex] units

- The volume of each cubic block is [tex]\frac{1}{36}[/tex] units³

- The number of blocks = volume of the prism ÷ volume of the block

∵ The volume of the prism is [tex]3\frac{25}{36}[/tex] units³

∵ The volume of each block is [tex]\frac{1}{36}[/tex] units³

∴ The number of blocks = [tex]3\frac{25}{36}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{36}=133[/tex]

∴ The number of blocks = 133

* The number of blocks needed is 133

Answer:

1st one is 1 1/6

2nd one is 133

I did the test on Plato and this was right :)
