In order to calculate the carton's height, let's first convert from liters to cm³.

1 liter is equal to 1000 cm³.

Now, let's use the volume formula of a rectangular prism to calculate the height:


\begin{gathered} V=A\cdot h \\ 1000=50\cdot h \\ h=(1000)/(50) \\ h=20\text{ cm} \end{gathered}

So the height is 20 cm.
