Question

the volume of this rectangular prism is 4x³. what does the coefficient 4 mean in terms of the problem? height = x width = x length = 4x a. the length of the prism is 4 units. b. the total volume of the prism is 4 cubic units. c. the width is 4 times the height and the length. d. the length is 4 times the width.

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is $V = l\times w\times h$. Here, $w = x$, $h=x$ and $l = 4x$. The coefficient 4 in the length $4x$ means the length is 4 times the width (since width is $x$).

Answer:

D. The length is 4 times the width.
