Answer:

7/2 feet

Explanation:

Volume of Right Rectangular Prism: V = w * h * l

You are given the volume, and the base (which would include l and w)- and are told to find h.

70 7/8 cubic feet = 4 1/2 feet * h * 4 1/2 feet (simplify the right side)

70 7/8 cubic feet = 81/4 feet squared * h (divide both sides by 81/4)

7/2 feet = h

The height will be 7/2
