Question

Giving medal to most helpful answer!
I am confused on this one?


The volume for a rectangular prism is given by the formula V = l · w · h, where l is the length of the prism, w is the width of the prism, and h is the height of the prism.

If the volume of a rectangular prism with a length and width of 5 inches is 200 cubic inches, what is the height of the rectangular prism?

Answer 1

I know that H = V/L*W but, I don't know what the volume is to get the height?

Answer 2

hmm aren't you missing info there?
"rectangular prism with a length and width of 5 inches is 200 cubic inches"
^
?

Answer 3

but anyhow... if you're given L and W and A
all you need to do is solve for W

Answer 4

woops.. I mean.solve for H

Answer 5

-sigh- I still don't understand, 2.5 would be the length and width for both? but, I still don't understand where the 200 cubic inches come in? I don't know what the volume would be?

Answer 6

>.<

Answer 7

yeah so you need to solve for H cause the L=5 and w=5 and V=200?

Answer 8

5* not 2.5

Answer 9

oh but still you need to solve for H? right?

Answer 10

Oh! I thought you had to like change the 200 cubic inches. But, I gotcha.

Answer 11

Yeah.

Answer 12

shoiot wrong post =)

Answer 13

Let me see if I can get the height.

Answer 14

The height would be 8, correct?

Answer 15

so.. what' was L again?

Answer 16

5.

Answer 17

ugh I got 80 xc

Answer 18

There isn't 80, though. The only 8 digit there is, is 8. .-.

Answer 19

-.-

Answer 20

sorry Im bad with this :/ i never really understood this type of stuff

Answer 21

hmm so L is 5 and W is 5 and volume is 200 \(\large {
V=lwh\quad
\begin{cases}
l=5\\
w=5\\
V=200
\end{cases}\quad 200=5\cdot 5\cdot h
}\)

Answer 22

No, it's okay. I believe I understand, thankyou for trying though! <3

Answer 23

Yes, jdoe.

Answer 24

ooh XD
