Question

HURRY PLZ!!!!!!

The volume of a rectangular prism is 300 cubic inches. If the length of the prism is 5 inches, and the width is 8 inches, what is the height of the rectangular prism? V = lwh

Answer 1

7.5 . To solve, find 300/5 which equals 60. Then, divide 60/8, which equals 7.5.

Answer 2

h = 7.5 inches

Explanation:

We know that the formula to get the volume of a rectangular prism is:

V = lwh

Where:

V= volume

l= length

w= width

h= height

We are going to substitute the data we have in the formula:

V= 300 cubic inches

l= 5 inches

w= 8 inches

h= ?

We get:

300 = 5*8*h

Solving:

300 = 40*h

300/40 = h

7.5 = h

h= 7.5 inches
