Question

The volume of a rectangular prismis 1800 cubic feet. Its length is 12feet and its width is 15 feet. Findthe height.

Answer 1

The volume of a rectangular prism is given as:

$V=lwh$

Plugging the values we have and solving for h:

$\begin{gathered} 1800=(12)(15)h \\ h=\frac{1800}{(12)(15)} \\ h=\frac{1800}{180} \\ h=10 \end{gathered}$

therefore the height of the prism is 10 ft.
