Find the density of a rectangular prism on Earth that weighs 12,358 g, has a height of 35 cm, a base side-length of 4 cm, and a second base side-length of 8 cm.

11.03g/cm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the prism = 12358g

Height = 35cm

base side length = 4cm

second base side length = 8cm

Unknown:

Density of the rectangular prism = ?

Solution:

To find the density of the prism, we must find the volume first.

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance;

   Density   =

Volume of rectangular prism  = length x width x height

                                                 = 4 x 8 x 35

                                                 = 1120cm³

Insert the parameters;

  Density =   = 11.03g/cm³
