Question

2. A clothing truck is shaped like a rectangular prism. The volume of the truck 576 ft cubed. The length of the truck is 12 ft, the width of the truck is 8 ft. What is the height of the clothing truck in feet? *

Answer 1

The height of the clothing truck is 6 feet

Explanation:

Length of truck = 12 feet

Width of truck = 8 feet

Let h be the height of truck

Volume of truck which is shaped like rectangular prism =
`Length * Width * Height`

Volume of truck which is shaped like rectangular prism =
`12 * 8 * h`

We are given that The volume of the truck 576 ft cubed.

So,
`12 * 8 * h = 576`

`h = (576)/(12 * 8)`

h=6

Hence the height of the clothing truck is 6 feet
