Question

A rectangular prisim has a base with an area of 200cm squared. The volume of the prism is 3,000cm cubed. What is the height of the prism?

Answer 1

`Height = 15cm`

Explanation:

Given

`Base\ Area = 200cm^2`

`Volume = 3000cm^3`

Required

The height

Volume is calculated as:

`Volume = Base\ Area * Height`

Make Height the subject

`Height = (Volume)/(Base\ Area)`

This gives

`Height = (3000cm^3)/(200cm^2)`

`Height = (3000)/(200)cm`

`Height = 15cm`
