Answer:

9.5 feet

Explanation:

The volume of a prism is V = Bh, where B = AREA of the base and h = height of the prism.

We're given:

  • Dimensions of Base (8 and 40)
  • Volume of prism (3,040)
  • 3040 = 320h

Now, we divide 3040 by 320 and get the height in feet.

  • 3040/320
  • 9.5

Therefore, the shipping container is 9.5 feet.
