Question

The volume V of a prism with base area B and height h is V=Bh. Solve the formula for h. Then use both formulas to find the height of the prism below.
A. H=____


B. What is the height?

Answer 1

The height is 5. 

Since V=Base*height, I just divided the volume by the base.

175/35
=5

So the height would be 5. You can check to see if it's true by multiplying 35*5, which gives you 175.

Answer 2

Answer:

$h=\frac{V}{B}$

h=5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume V of a prism with base area B and height h is V=Bh.

Solve the formula for h

$V=Bh$

Divide both sides by B to solve for h

$h=\frac{V}{B}$

Given that Volume V= 175 ft^3

The value of B= 35 ft^2

Plug in the values in the height equation we got

$h=\frac{V}{B}$

$h=\frac{175}{35}$

h=5 feet
