Answer:

12 inches

Explanation:

The storage bin is in the shape of a rectangular prism.

Its volume is 5400 cubic inches and its base area is 450 square inches.

The volume of a rectangular prism is given as:

V = L * W * H

where L = length

W = width

H = height

The product of the length and width gives the base area of the rectangular prism:

A = L * W

This implies that:

V = A * H

=> 5400 = 450 * H

H = 5400 / 450

H = 12 inches

The height of the bin is 12 inches.
