The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

We are given that:

Volume = 48x² + 12x,
Length = 6x,
Width = 2.

We have to find the Height. We know from the formula of volume that:

Height = Volume / (Length * Width)

Substituting the given values, we get:

Height = (48x² + 12x) / (6x * 2)

This simplifies to:

Height = (48x² + 12x) / (12x)

Thus, based on the given conditions, the height of the rectangular prism is represented by the quotient (48x² + 12x) / (12x).
