The height of the prism is 18 inches

The volume of a rectangular prism is the area of its base multiplied by the height

As we can see here, we have to multiply all the sides to get the volume

Mathematically;


\begin{gathered} V\text{ = L }* B\text{ }* H \\ 11,520\text{ = 20}*32* H \\ \\ H\text{ = }(11,520)/(20*32)\text{ = 18 inches} \end{gathered}
