Question

Paul bakes raisin bars in a pan shaped like a rectangular prism. The volume of the pan is 252 cubic inches. The length of the pan is 12 inches, and its width is 10 1/2 inches. What is the height of the pan?

Answer 1

Volume = length x width x height.

To find the height, multiply the length by the width and divide the volume by that.

Length x width = 12 x 10 1/2 = 126

Height = 252/126 = 2

The height is 2 inches
