Question

he volume of a prism is found by multiplying the area of the base by the height. A rectangular prism has a volume of 144cm^3, and a square base with a width of 3 cm. What is the height of the prism, in cm?
A.
4

Answer 1

Since the base is a square, the length and width are the same, s.
The height is h.
\(V = s^2h\)
\(144 = 3^2h \)
\(9h = 144\)
\(h = 16\)
Answer the height is 16 cm.
