Question

If the volume of a rectangular prism is 200 cubic units, and the area of the base is 16 square units, what is the height of the prism?

Answer 1

The height of the prism is 12.5 units.

Explanation:

Volume formula: V = (length)(width)(height)

or V = (area of base)(height)

Here, we want to calculate the height. The appropriate formula is

(height) = (volume) / (area of base) = (200 units³) / (16 units²) = 12.5 units

The height of the prism is 12.5 units.

Answer 2

It is 12.5

Explanation:

It is because the formula of finding the volume of a rectangular prism is area of the base x height.

So you do 200 divided by 16 (Which is the height) which equals 12.5
