Answer: V = l w h. 405 = 15 times 4.5 times h
Explanation:
Given the following :
Volume of prism = 405 in^3
Length = 15 inches
Height = h
Width = 4.5 inches
Recall :
The volume of a prism is the product of the Base and the height.
That is;
Volume = Base × height
However, Base of prism is given by the area of the base shape of the prism.
From our parameters Base shape of the prism is a rectangle.
Therefore, Area of rectangle = Length × width
= 15 inches × 4.5 inches = 67.5 inch^2 = Base of prism
Therefore, Volume of prism equals ;
Volume = 15 × 4.5 × h
Volume = 405in^3
Volume = Base × height
405 = 15 × 4.5 × h
