Answer:

height = 78 yd

Explanation:

Formula

Volume of a rectangular prism = width × length × height

Given:

  • volume = 4,212 yd³
  • width = 2 yd
  • length = 27 yd

Substituting given values into the formula and solving for height:

⇒ 4212 = 2 × 27 × height

⇒ 4212 = 54 × height

⇒ height = 4212 ÷ 54

height = 78 yd
