Question

If Matthew knows the volume of a rectangular prism is 132 m^3 and the area of the base is 22 m^2what is the height?

Answer 1

Answer:

If Matthew knows the volume of a rectangular prism then the height of the prism is 6 meters.

Solution:

Given, Matthew knows the volume of a rectangular prism is 132 $m^3$  

And the area of the base is 22 $m^2$

We have to find what is the height?

Now, we know that,  

volume of the rectangular prism = area of the base of the prism $\times$ height of the prism.

So, substitute the given information in the above formula.

132 = 22 $\times$ height of the prism.

Height of the prism = $\frac{132}{22} = \frac{12}{2} = 6m$

Hence height of the prism is 6 meters.
