Answer:

Length of the prism is 9 cm.

Explanation:

We are given,

A rectangular prism with volume 72 cm², width 2 cm and height.

As, we know,

Volume of a rectangular prism = Length × Width × Height

i.e. 72 = Length × 2 × 4

i.e. 72 = Length × 8

i.e. Length =
(72)/(8)

i.e. Length = 9 cm.

Hence, the length of the prism is 9 cm.
