Answer:

h = 8

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a prism is:

V = l x w x h

In this case, both your length and width are the same (8in).

You plug the numbers into the formula to get:

512 in³ = 8 in · 8 in ·h

512 = 64 · h

h = 8

Also, while the figure doesn't say to scale, it looks like a cube. So I probably would've went ahead and tried 8³ to see if it worked out lol!

Good luck ~
