Question

A toy chest in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 8,640 cubic inches.  The base area of the toy chest is 720 square inches.  What is the height of the toy chest?

Answer 1

(Volume)= (Base Area) * (Height)
8,640= 720h

h=
`(8650)/(720)`

h= 12 inches

Answer 2

Answer: 12 inches

Explanation:

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is given by :-

`\text{Volume}=\text{Base area* height}`

Given : A toy chest in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 8,640 cubic inches.

The base area of the toy chest is 720 square inches.

Let h be the height of the toy chest, then we have

`8640=720* h\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=(8640)/(720)=12`

Hence, the height of the toy chest = 12 inches
