Josh and Jonah were finding the volume of the prism below.
• Josh say that he can see on the end of the prism that each layer will have 16 cubes in it.
• Jonah says that each layer from top to bottom has 24 cubes in it.
Who is right? In the space provided, explain how you know using words, numbers, and/or pictures.
What is the total volume of the rectangular prism?

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.

the answer is -1 for this question
