Question

Jesse has a storage container in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The volume of the container is 43.875 cubic meters, the length is 5 meters and the width is 3.9 meters.

Answer 1

Note: Consider we need to find the height of the container.

Given:

The volume of container in the shape of right rectangular prism = 43.875 cubic meters.

Length = 5 meters.

Width = 3.9 meters.

To find:

The height of the container.

Solution:

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is:

`V=l* w* h`

Where, l is length, w is width and h is height.

Putting
`V=43.875,l=5,w=3.9` in the above formula, we get

`43.875=5* 3.9* h`

`43.875=19.5* h`

`(43.875)/(19.5)=h`

`2.25=h`

Therefore, the height of the rectangular container is 2.25 meters.
