Answer: H = (A-2LW)/(2L + 2W)

==============================================

Work Shown:

L = length

W = width

H = height

A = surface area of a prism

A = 2(LW + HL + HW)

A = 2LW + 2HL + 2HW

A-2LW = 2HL + 2HW

2HL + 2HW = A-2LW

H(2L + 2W) = A-2LW

H = (A-2LW)/(2L + 2W)

Feel free to convert each letter to lowercase. I made them uppercase because lowercase L looks either like the number 1 or the uppercase letter i, so I wanted to avoid potential mix-ups.
