Question

A rectangular prism has a base with a length of 8 cm and a width of 5 cm. The volume of the solid is 120 cm³. The volume of this prism can be found using the formula, V = lwh

Rearrange the volume formula to solve for h. What is the new formula?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: h = 3 cm;
`h = (V)/(lw)`

Explanation:

Data

l = 8 cm

w = 5 cm

V = 120 cm³

h = ?

Formula

V = lwh

Process

1.- Pass l and w to the right side, they are multiplying, then now they will be dividing.

`h = (V)/(lw)`

2.- Substitution

`h = (120)/((8)(5))`

`h = (120)/(40)`

h = 3 cm
