Answer:

height=6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

-The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:

$V=lwh$

#We make h the subject of the formula the solve for it:

$V=lwh\\\\\frac{V}{lw}=h\\\\\therefore h=\frac{V}{lw}$

#Substitute to solve for height:

$h=\frac{V}{lw}\\\\=\frac{72}{2\times 6}\\\\=6\ ft$

Hence, the prism has a height of 6 ft.
