Answer:

1.25cm

Explanation:

Complete question:

The prism has a volume of 35 cm cubed workout h, the height of the triangular cross section

length=7cm

width = 4cm

The volume of the prism is expressed as;

Volume = Base Area * Height

Given

Volume of the prism = 35cm^3

Base Area = length * width

Base Area = 7cm * 4cm

Base Area = 28cm^2

Substitute the given values into the formula

35 = 28* Height

Cross multiply

35 = 28 * Height

35 = 28 Height

Height = 35/28

Height = 1.25cm

Hence the height of the triangular cross section is 1.25cm
