6 is the height because 144 divided 24 equals 6. Hope this helps!

An oblique prism has a volume of 144 cubic units. The area of its base is 24 square units.

We know that volume of oblique prism= base area * height

Given area of base = 24 square units

Volume of oblique prism V = 144 cubic units

Volume = base area * h

144 = 24 * h


h =(144)/(24)

h = 6

the perpendicular height of the prism = 6 units
