Answer:

D, 6m

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

The volume and base area of a rectangular cargo container is 720 cubic

= 720m^3

The area of the cargo container is 120 m^2

Required

We want to find the height of the container

Step two

The expression for the volume is given as

Volume= Area* height

so,

720= 120*h

divide both sides by 120

720/120= h

h= 6 m

The height is 6m
