Answer:

The height of the prism is 9 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets describe the rectangular prism

- The rectangular prism has six rectangular faces

- Two of them are bases and the other four are side faces

- The rectangular prism has three dimensions length, width , height

- The volume of any prism = Area of the base × its height

∵ The base of the rectangular prism is a rectangle

∵ Area any rectangle = length × width

∴ The volume of the rectangular prism V = length × width × height

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The volume of the prism is 810 meter³

∵ Its length is 10 meter

∵ Its width is 9 meters

∵ V = length × width × height

- Substitute the values of the volume , the length and the width in

the equation of V

∴ 810 = 10 × 9 × h

∴ 810 = 90 × h

- Divide both sides by 90

∴ 9 = h

∴ The height of the prism is 9 meters
