Question

5. A storage container is shaped like a rectangular prism. The volume of the container is 2,415 cubic feet. The area of the base of the container is 210 square feet. What is the height of the container in feet?

Answer 1

115 ft

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is

V = lwh

The formula for the area of the base is

A = lw. Thus.

V = Ah or

h = V/A

Data:

V = 2415 ft³

A = 210 ft²

Calculation:

h = 2415/210 = 115 ft

The height of the container is 115 ft.
