Question

Explain how to find the height of this rectangular prism, given a volume of 360 in.3, a length of 24 in., and a width of 3 in.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Write the formula for volume of a rectangular prism: V = lwh. Substitute the known values. Then solve for the unknown, h. 360 = 24(3)(h). Divide 360 by 72, the product of 24 and 3. The height is 5 in.

Answer 2

Height is 5 inches

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is V=lwh

Given the info, we have 360=24*3*h as our equation:

360=24*3*h

360=72h

5=h

So the height is 5 inches
