A rectangular prism has 3 measurements: length (l), width (w) and height (h)
The volume of a rectangular prism has the formula: V=lwh
The area of the base of the rectangular prism is its length times its width; or
Area of base = lw
So, the volume of the rectangular prism can be written as:
Volume = area of the base * height
Substitute in your numbers:
192=48*h
h=192/48
h=4
So the height is 4 feet
