Answer:

Cannot be determined

Explanation:

We have that the volume of the rectangular prism is:

V = a * b * h

That is, then that:

1372 = a * b * h

This means that with the data provided in the exercise, there is no way to calculate the measurements of the prism.

Since there are 3 unknowns and only one equation. A graph or additional data is required.

We can also assume values, for example:

Let a = 10 and b = 20

1372 = 10 * 20 * h

h = 1372 / (10 * 20)

h = 6.86

the important thing is to know the corresponding formula and how to solve it.

I hope I've helped.
