Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is 840 in³. If the area of the base is 60 in², find its height. Draw and label a model to show your thinking.

Answer 1

Answer: 14 inches

Explanation:

Given : The volume of a rectangular prism :
`V= 840\ in^3`

The area of base :
`A=60\ in^2`

Let h be the height of the rectangular prism.

The formula to find the volume of a rectangular prism is given by :-

`\text{Volume = Base Area}*\text{Height}`

i.e.
`840=60* h`

i.e.
`h=(840)/(60)=14\ in` [Divide both sides by 60]

Hence, the volume rectangular prism = 14 inches
