Answer 1

4m

Explanation:

The volume of a room is 80 m³. The area of the floor is 20 m². The height of the room is:​

Volume = l x w x h (base area times height)

we use the inverse formula

Height = 80 : 20 =

4

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

Let's think of this as a cube with layers.

(Layer = height)

If the first layer has 20, and the cube has a total of 80, we can use this equation:

80 = 20 × number of layers

Let's figure out how many times we need to multiply 20 to get 80.

20 × 4 = 80

The cubes height is 4.
