Monica is constructing a box in the shape of a right rectangular prism to hold grain on her farm. Use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism to find the area of the base when the volume is 50 cubic feet and the height is 4 feet.(1 point)

To find the area of the base, we need to divide the volume of the rectangular prism by the height.
Volume = Length x Width x Height
50 = Length x Width x 4
Solving for the area of the base, we have:
Area of the base = (Volume) / (Height)
Area of the base = 50 / 4
Area of the base = 12.5 ft²
Therefore, the area of the base is 12.5 feet squared.
