Question

Wanderella Skimpole has a dish that is a right rectangular prism. Its width is 10 inches, and its length is 16 inches. If the volume of the dish is 1,120 in3 , what must be its height?

Answer 1

Given:

Width of a rectangular prism = 10 inches

Length of the rectangular prism = 16 inches

Volume of the rectangular prism = 1,120 cubic inches

To find:

The height of the rectangular prism.

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
`l=10,w=16,V=1120` in the above formula, we get

`1120=10* 16* h`

`1120=160* h`

`(1120)/(160)=h`

`7=h`

Therefore, the height of the rectangular prism is 7 inches.
