Question

The volume V of a prism with base area B and height h is V=Bh. Solve the formula for h. Then use both formulas to find the height of the prism below.

Answer 1

Height is 5 ft

Explanation:

The prism is attached.

The volume formula is:

`V=Bh`

Where

V is volume

B is area of base

h is height of prism

Now, solving for "h", gives us:

`V=Bh\\h=(V)/(B)`

Looking at the prism, it is given:

V = 175

B = 35

Substituting, we get the height:

`h=(V)/(B)\\h=(175)/(35)\\h=5`

The height is 5 ft
