Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is 72 cubic centimeters. The prism is 2 centimeters wide and 4 centimeters high What is the length of the prism?

Answer 1

Answer:

9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated as

$V=\text{length}\cdot \text{width}\cdot \text{height}.$

Since the width is 2 cm and the height is 4 cm, then

$72=2\cdot 4\cdot \text{length},\\ \\\text{length}=\dfrac{72}{8}=9\ cm.$
