Answer:

The possible dimensions are:

30 by 2

15 by 4

60 by 1

6 by 10

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given as

V = lwh

Where l is the length

w is width

h is height.

Since V = 60cm³

We want to check the possible dimension of the prism.

60cm³ = l×w×h

= 6 × 5 × 2

or

10 × 3 × 2

or

15 × 2 × 2

or

15 × 4 × 1
