4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a rectangular box (or any rectangular prism, for that matter) is:

l*w*h = V (l is length, w is width, and h is height. V is volume.)

You have the length, width, and volume, so plug those values in to the equation.

3*6*h=72

Now, solve for h.

18*h=72

H=4

Answer:

12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of a rectangular box with a base measuring 3 feet by 6 feet and a volume of 72 cubic feet, we need to use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

We are given the volume of the box and the length and width, so we can substitute the values and solve for the height:

72 = 3 x 6 x Height

72 / (3 x 6) = Height

12 = Height

So, the height of the box is 12 feet.
