explain how you would find the height of the rectangular prism if you know that the volume is 60 cubic centers in the area of the base is 10 square centimeters
Answer:
Since,
\(\text{ Volume of a rectangular prism}=\text{Area of the base}\times \text{ Height}\)
\(\implies \text{ Height}=\frac{\text{ Volume of the prism}}{\text{Area of the base}}\)
Thus, we can find the height of the rectangular prism by dividing volume of the prism by Area of the prism,
Here, Volume= 60 cubic centimeters, Area = 10 square cm,
Thus, the height of the rectangular prism = \(\frac{60}{10}\)
= 6 cm.
