Answer:

15 ft.

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is length times width times height. Since we know the length and width, we can solve for the height using algebra. In this equation, l is length, w is width, h is height, and v is volume.

l*w*h=v

5.2*7.4*h=577.2, First, Multiply 5.2 and 7.4

38.48h=577.2, Next, divide both sides by 38.48 to find the height.

h = 15, This means that the height of the prism is 15 ft.
