Question

PLEASE HELP! 30 PTS!! Explain how to find the height of this rectangular prism, given a volume of 360 in.3, a length of 24 in., and a width of 3 in.

Answer 1

The height is 5 inches

Explanation:

Knowing that he volume of a rectangular prism is V = L*W*H, it is given that V = 360, L = 24, and W = 3. Substitute these values into the equation and get 360 = 24*3*H. This can simplify to 360 = 72*H and by dividing both sides by 72, you get H = 5. This means that he height is 5 inches.

Answer 2

The height is 5 in

Explanation:

V = l*w*h

Substitute in what we know

360 = 24 *3*h

360 = 72h

Divide each side by 72

360/72 = 72h/72

5 = h

The height is 5 in
