Question

Find the missing dimension of each prism.

look at the picture above and help me out a little bit.

Answer 1

Given:

Volume of the prism = 60 in³

Breadth = 2.5 in

Height = 4 in.

To find:

The length of the prism.

Solution:

We know that, volume of a prism is

`V=l* b* h`

where, l is length, b is breadth and h is height.

Putting V=60, b=2.5 and h=4, we get

`60=l* 2.5* 4`

`60=l* 10`

Divide both sides by 10.

`(60)/(10)=l`

`6=l`

Therefore, the missing dimension of the prism is 6 in.
