@HELP001 volume of hexagonal prism= area of base * height could you find height now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No :( can you put the numbers in?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

what's the volume given?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

using ash's hint, we get Volume = Area * height 10 = 5x where 'x' is the unknown height

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@HELP001 do you understand this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

5 times what = 10 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the height is 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

alternatively, 10 = 5x 10/5 = 5x/5 2 = x x = 2 So the height is 2
