The height of a right rectangular prism is 3 units greater than the length of the base. The edge length of the square base is x units.

Which expression represents the volume of the prism, in cubic units?

x3 + 9
x3 + 3x2
x3 + 3x + 3
x3 + 6x2 + 9x

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. x^3 + 3x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism=width * length * height

V=w*l*h

h=3 greater than the length of the base

h=x+3

Length of the base=x

Width=x

Substituting values into the formula

V=w*l*h

=(x)*(x)*(x+3)

Multiplying

=(x^2)(x+3)

=x^3 + 3x^2

Option B is the correct answer

The expression [tex]x^3 + 3x^2[/tex]  represents the volume of the prism, in cubic units.

We have given that the,

The height of a right rectangular prism is 3 units greater than the length of the base.

The edge length of the square base is x units.

What is the volume of rectangular prism?

[tex]Volume of a rectangular prism=width * length * height[/tex]

[tex]V=w*l*h[/tex] ......(1)

We have given that the

h=3 greater than the length of the base

and length of the base is x

Hence, [tex]h=x+3[/tex]

[tex]Length of the base=x[/tex]

[tex]Width=x[/tex]

Substituting values l h and w into the formula (1) we get,

[tex]V=w*l*h[/tex]

[tex]=(x)*(x)*(x+3)[/tex]

[tex]=(x^2)(x+3)[/tex]

[tex]=x^3 + 3x^2[/tex]

Therefore the expression  

[tex]x^3 + 3x^2[/tex]  

represents the volume of the prism, in cubic units.
