Answer:

length = 6 in

Explanation:

The general formula for the volume of a prism:

V = Bh, where B = the area of the base and h = height of the prism

Since the figure is a rectangular prism, the area of a rectangle is:

A = l x w, where l=length and w=width

Since you know the width, height and volume, you can plug these values in to solve for 'l':

V = l x w x h

60 = l(2.5)(4) or 60 = 10l

divide by 10: 60/10 = 10l/10

solve for 'l': l = 6 in
