Volume = l * w * h

So far we have:

150 = 12 * 5 * h

Divide both sides by (12*5)

h = 2.5 cm

➶ Hope This Helps You!

Answer:

The height of the block is 2.5 cm

Solution:

Let us assume the height of the block =h

The length of the rectangle l = 12 cm

The width of the rectangle w = 5 cm

The volume of the rectangle
V = 150 cm^(3)

We know the volume of the rectangular block
V = w* h* l

So,


h=\left((V)/(w * l)\right)=\left((150)/(5 * 12)\right)

=\left(\frac{30}{12}\right)

=\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) = 2.5

So, the height is 2.5 cm
