Question

The volume of a prism is found by multiplying the area of the base by the height. A rectangular prism has a volume of 144 cm3 , and a square base with a width of 3 cm. What is the height of the prism, in cm?. . A. 4 . B. 8 . C. 48 . D. 16 .

Answer 1

The volume (V) of prism is the product of the area (A) of the base and its height (h). The area of the square base is the square of its width, 3 cm.
                               144 cm³ = (3 cm)² x h
The value of h from the equation is 16. Therefore, the height of the prism is 16 cm.
