Question

2. A clothing truck is shaped like a rectangular prism. The volume of the truck 15 ft cubed. The area of the base of the container is 6 ft squared. What is the height of the clothing truck in feet? *

Answer 1

2.5 ft

Explanation:

The clothing truck in this problem is shaped as a rectangular prism.

Therefore, we need to find the height of a rectangular prism.

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:

`V=Ah`

where

V is the volume

A is the area of the base

h is the height of the prism

In this problem we have:

`V=15 ft^3` is the volume of the truck

`A=6 ft^2` is the area of the squared base

Solving the formula for h, we find the height of the truck:

`h=(V)/(A)=(15)/(6)=2.5 ft`
