Question

The base of a rectangular prism has an area of 24 square millimeters. The volume of the prism is 144 cubic millimeters. The shape is a cube. What is the height of the prism?

Answer 1

Answer:

height = 6 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The prism is a rectangular prism. The base area of the prism is 24 mm². The volume of the prism is given as 144 mm³.

The height of the prism can be solved as follows.

Volume of the rectangular prism = Bh

where

B = base area

h = height

Volume = 144 mm³

B = 24 mm²

volume = Bh

144 = 24 × h

144 = 24h

divide both sides by 24

h = 144/24

h = 6 mm
