Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is 72 cubic centimeters. The prism is 2 centimeters wide and 4 centimeters high. What is the length of the prism?

Answer 1

Hi there!

Since the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is length x width x height, we can divide the width and height from the volume to get the length.

72 / 2 / 4
= 36 / 4
= 9

So, the answer is 9 centimeters.

Hope this helps!
