Cuboid Edge Length Problem: Finding Relationships When Edge = Base + 5

Question

In an cuboid with a square base, the cuboid edge
It is greater by 5 of the base side.
We mark the side of the base with X,

XXXXXXX+5X+5X+5

What is true?

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the volume of the cuboid, we need to follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Determine the area of the square base. Since the base is square with each side measuring X X , the area of the base is X2 X^2 .
  • Step 2: Identify the height of the cuboid. The height is given as X+5 X + 5 .
  • Step 3: Use the volume formula for a cube, V=base area×height V = \text{base area} \times \text{height} .

Let's execute these steps:
Step 1: The square base area is X2 X^2 .
Step 2: The height of the cuboid, as given, is X+5 X + 5 .
Step 3: Plugging these into the volume formula gives V=X2×(X+5)=X2(X+5) V = X^2 \times (X + 5) = X^2(X + 5) .

Thus, the expression for the volume of the cuboid is V=X2(X+5) V = X^2(X + 5) .

This matches the provided choice, confirming that the correct answer is V=X2(X+5)\boxed{V = X^2(X+5)}.

Answer

V=X2(X+5) V=X^2(X+5)
