Volume of any prism = (Area of the base) x (height)

so you can solve for height after you plug in the values that are given to you:
12sqrt(3) = (3sqrt3) x h

anonymous · Answer

you might be putting it in your calculator incorrectly or do you just want to work this by hand?

anonymous · Answer

how do i type into my calculator cuz i think i mite have put it in wrong

anonymous · Answer

(12xsqrt(3)) / (3xsqrt(3))  that's with parenthesis.  if your calculator does not have parenthesis, you might have to do this the "many steps" way... :(

anonymous · Answer

by hand would've been much faster... :)
