Question

A rectangular prism has volume of 24 cm?. The length and width of the prism is 5 cm and 3 cm.

Find the height of the prism.

Answer 1

1.6 cm

Explanation:

We know that the formula to finds the volume of rectangular prism is:

Volume = Length × width × height

Given that,

l → 5 cm

w → 3 cm

v → 24 cm³

Let us find it now.

Volume = Length × width × height

24 = 5 × 3 × h

24 = 15h

Divide both sides by 15.

1.6 cm = height

Answer 2

• 1.6 cm

------------------

Volume formula for rectangular prism:

• V = lwh

Given two dimensions and volume. Substitute them into formula and find the height:

• 24 = 5*3h
• 24 = 15h
• h = 24/15
• h = 1 .6

The height is 1.6 cm.
