The calculated height of the square based prism is 5 cm
How to determine the height of the square based prism
The volume of a prism is the area of the base times the height.
So, we can set up the equation:
Bh = 85 cubic cm
where:
B is the area of the base (17 square cm)
h is the height
Substitute the known values into the equation
17h = 85
Dividing both sides by 17, we get:
h = 5
Hence, the height of the square based prism is 5 cm
