Answer:

Thickness is 6 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Area of the base of rectangular wood,
$A=120\textrm{ }m^(2)$

Volume of the rectangular wood,
$V = 720\textrm{ }m^(3)$

Volume of the rectangular wood is given as,

V=A* h

Where,
is the thickness of the rectangular wood.

Plug in
$720\textrm{ }m^(3)$ for
and
$120\textrm{ }m^(2)$ for
. Solve for
.This gives,

$V=A* h\\ 720 = 120* h\\ h = (720)/(120)=6\textrm{ m}$

Therefore, the thickness of the rectangular wood is 6 m.
