What is the volume of the smallest square-based prism that would hold this cylinder?

Answer:
The answer to your question is Volume = 80000 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
height = 50 cm
radius = 20 cm
Process
1.- The smallest dimensions of the prism must have the same dimensions that the cylinder.
Radius = 20 cm then the length of a side = 2 x radius = 40 cm
2.- Calculate the area of the base
Area = 40 x 40
= 1600 cm²
3.- Calculate the volume of the prism
Volume = Area x height
= 1600 x 50
= 80000 cm²
