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

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
`*` height of the prism.

So, substitute the given information in the above formula.

132 = 22
`*` height of the prism.

Height of the prism =
`(132)/(22) = (12)/(2) = 6m`

Hence height of the prism is 6 meters.
