Question

A plastic container is shaped like a rectangular prism. The volume of the prism is 1,250 cubic units. The area of the base is 250 square units. What is the height of the container?

Answer 1

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Container is shaped like a rectangular prism :

Volume of a rectangular prism is obtained thus :

Volume = Length * width * height

Volume = Area of base * height

Area of base = 250 unit²

Volume = 1250 unit³

1250 unit³ = 250 unit³ * height

Height = 1250 unit³ / 250 unit³

Height = 5 units
