Question

Mrs. Klein purchased a planter box that is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The volume is 118 ft3 and the base area is 112

ft2. Determine the height of the planter box.

Use the formula V=Bh

, where B is the area of the base and h is the height, to determine the height of the rectangular prism.

First, write the numbers as improper fractions.

Answer 1

1 1/8 = 9/8

1 1/2 = 3/2

The box is 3/4

Explanation:

9/8÷3/2=h

9/8⋅2/3=h

3/4=h

Answer 2

we know that

[volume of a prism]=[area of a base]*height
height=[volume of a prism]/[area of a base]
height=[118]/[112]=59/56 ft

the answer is
the height is 59/56 ft
