Answer:

height = 5

Explanation:

The volume of a prism is V = l*w*h

You are not given any information about the exact values of l and w.

You do know however that L and w when multiplied together = 20, so you can put that in for l*w. Then the formula becomes

V = 20*h

You are told that the volume is 100. Now the problem is simplified. You get

100 = 20 * h Divide both sides by 20

100/20 = 20*h/20 Combine like terms.

5 = h
