Amelie's bird cage is shaped like a rectangular prism. The cage has a height of 26 inches and a volume of 7,280 cubic inches. Amelie puts a piece of newspaper on the bottom of the cage. The newspaper fits the bottom of the cage perfectly. What is the area of the newspaper on the bottom of the cage?

The area of the news paper which fits in the bottom of the Amile's cage is 280 square inches because The area is said to be the product of the two sides ( length an breadth ) of the rectangle.
The volume is said to be the product of the length, breadth and height of the cage.
Here the height and volume are given in the square inches.
volume = L* B *H = 7280 Square inches whereas height is 26 inches.
AREA = L* B = by bringing the height in divide with volume we can obtain the L* B value which is said to be the value of the height .
