The formula for the volume of this shape is: length * width * height/2

Knowing this, we can set up this equation:


576= (8*8*x)/(2)

Now, we can solve for x. I will start by multiplying the 8s and then divide both sides by two.


1152=64x

Next, we divide both sides by 64 to find x.


x = 18

So, x is equal to 18 cm.

The volume of a triangular prism is V = 1/2lwh. So, in order to find x, plug in the values you know and solve:

576 = (1)/(2)*8*8*x

1152 = 64x

x = 18
