Answer:

The height of the prism is 2m

Explanation:

Given;

The volume of pentagonal prism, V = 4.8 m^3

Area of the prism, A = 2.4 m^2

To determine the height of the prism, we consider the following;

Volume of any prism = Area of the prism x height of the prism

Height of the prism = volume of the prism / Area of the prism

Height of the prism = 4.8 / 2.4

Height of the prism = 2 m

Therefore, the height of the prism is 2m
