do you know how the formula for rectangular prisms? well actually it has the measurements for your length and width.
no
The height of a rectangular prism could be calculated by using the following method and the formula given below. If we know the area of the base and the volume of the prism then the height can be calculated using the formula: H = Volume/Area of base. Where, Area of base = length of base x width of base. For example: Find the height of a rectangular prism with volume = 70 cm3 and length and width of base equal to 7 and 5 cm. Solution: Volume of prism = 70 cm3 Area of base = length of base x width of base Area of base = 7 * 5 = 35 cm2 Height = h = volume/area of base = 70/35 = 2cm Therefore answer = 2 cm. So now lets plug in your information we have Volume=125 Length=5 and width=5 We can take the volume formula for rectangular prisms and just plug in the information we have. \[V=lwh \] so if we plug in information we have \[125=5\times5\times?\]
^^^^^ you got it
ops i ment 125=5 x 5 x h solve for h
Yeah. thats what i meant to post myself.
well I'll help the rest of the way since I've given proper explanation, alright so if you solve for this problem you notice that you must divide the 125 by 5x5 ==> \[125/25=5\] so what is your answer?
