Hello!
The answer is:
D. The volume is the product of the area of the base, (x+8)(x-3) and the height, 2x-5
Why?
From the statement we know that the volume of the block is given by the following expression:
[tex](x+8)(x-3)(2x-5)[/tex]
We also know that we can calculate the volume of a block using the following equation:
[tex]Volume=AreaOfTheBase*Height[/tex]
So, from the given picture we know that:
[tex]AreaOfTheBase=Length*Width=(x+8)(x-3)\\Height=2x-5[/tex]
Hence, we have that the correct option is:
D. The volume is the product of the area of the base, (x+8)(x-3) and the height, 2x-5
Have a nice day!
