container in feet?
​

Answer 1

The height of the container is 8.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a storage container is shaped like a rectangular prism.

The volume of the container is 1360 cubic feet.

The area of the base of the container is 160 square feet.

We need to determine the height of the container.

The formula for the volume of the rectangular prism is given by

`V=l* b* h`

Where
`l* b` is the area of the base of the rectangle.

Thus, we have,

`V=(area \ of \ base )* h`

Now, substituting the values, we get,

`1360=160* h`

Dividing both sides by 160, we get,

`8.5=h`

Thus, the height of the container is 8.5 feet.
