No :( can you put the numbers in?

what's the volume given?

Answer 5

using ash's hint, we get

Volume = Area * height

10 = 5x

where 'x' is the unknown height

@HELP001 do you understand this?

5 times what = 10 ?

Answer 9

Answer 10

so the height is 2

Answer 11

alternatively,

10 = 5x

10/5 = 5x/5

2 = x

x = 2

So the height is 2
