Answer:

Height : 6

Explanation:

volume of a rectangular prism is V=LWH

L is length and that is 20

W is width and that is 20

H is height and that is 6

The reason that L and W are 20 is because you would multiply those to get the base, and the base is already given, 400.

Since you know the volume is 2,400, a quick trick is that you divide 2,400/400. That equals 6.

So 20 x 20 x 6 = 2400
