Question

The area of a cross section perpendicular to the base of a rectangular prism is 45 square inches. If the length and width of the base are 5 inches each, what is the height of the prism

Answer 1

This is the concept of geometry, for us to get the height of the prism we proceed as follows;
The lateral area=45 in^2
Lateral area=4*[length*width]
length=x in
width=5 in
thus:
45=4[5*x]
45=20x
x=45/20
x=2.25 inches long

Answer 2

Answer:

2.25 was incorrect on edmentum/plato

not sure of answer but I seen on another website the answer was 9...so try 9 if you don't know
