Question

a rectanglar solid has a base with lint 2 cm and width 8 cm. If the volume of the solid is 106 cm 3 to the highest, find the height of the solid. Hint the volume of a rectangular solid is given by volume equal length, with and height

Answer 1

2*8*h=106

16*h=106

Divide both sides by 16

h=6,625

2*8*6,625=106

HEIGHT =6,625 cm

Answer 2

The hint says that volume of a rectangular solid = l*w*h, where l = length, w = width, and h = height. Use this to solve for the height of the solid by plugging in the numbers you know.

You know that length, l = 2cm, width, w = 8cm, and, *EDITED* volume = 160 cm^3. Plug these values into the equation for volume (the hint) and solve for h, the height:
Volume = lwh
160 = (2)(8)(h)
160 = 16h
h = 10cm

-------

Answer: The height is 10 cm
