Question

Paul bakes raisin bars in a pan shaped like a rectangular prism.

The volume of the pan is 252 in³.

The length of the pan is 12 in., and its width is 10 1/2 in.

What is the height of the pan?


Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

The height of the pan is 2 inches

Answer 2

The answer is: " 2 in. ".
_____________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_____________________________________________
Assume the shape is a "rectangular prism".

Volume of a "rectangular prism" : V = L * w * h ;

in which:
_____________________________________________
V = volume;
L = length;
w = width;
h = height.
______________________________________________
We want to solve for "h" (the "height").
_________________________________________________

Given:
_________________________________________________
V = 252 in.³ ;
L = 12 in. ;
w = 10.5 in.

Solve for "h" ;
_________________________________________________
Plug our "given values" into the formula:
_________________________________________________
V = L * w * h ;
_________________________________________________
We want to rewrite this formula/ equation; by isolating "h" (the "height") on on ONE side of the equation;
_________________________________________________
Divide EACH SIDE of the formula/equation by "(L * w)" ;
_________________________________________________
→ V / (L * w) = (L* w * h) / (L * w) ;
_________________________________________________
to get:
→ V / (L * w) = h ;

↔ h = V / (L * w) ;

→ h = 252 in.³ / (12 in. * 10.5 in.) ;

→ h = 252 in.³ / (126 in.²) ;

→ h = (252 / 126) in. ;

→ h = 2 in.
_______________________________
The answer is: 2 in.
