Answer:
The area of the plastic mat on the bottom of the cage is [tex]310\ in^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct volume of the question is 8,680 cubic inches
we know that
The volume of the rectangular prism (Eloise's rabbit cage) is equal to
[tex]V=Bh[/tex]
where
B is the area of the base of rectangular prism
h is the height of the prism
we have
[tex]V=8,680\ in^3[/tex]
[tex]h=28\ in[/tex]
substitute in the formula and solve for B
[tex]8,680=B(28)[/tex]
[tex]B=8,680/(28)[/tex]
[tex]B=310\ in^2[/tex]
