Question

A storage container is a rectangular prism that is 65 centimeters long and 40 centimeters wide. The volume of the container is 62,400 cubic centimeters. What is the height of the container?

Answer 1

Please look below.

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism can be determined with the following formula:
`V = abc`

You are given the length of two sides `a = 65` `cm`, `b = 40` `cm`, and the volume of the rectangular prism `V = 62,400` `cm^3`. Substituting these values into the formula and then rearranging gives you the value of the third side.

`62400 = 65 xx 40 xx c`

`(62400)/(65xx40) = c`

`c= 24` `cm`

So the height of the rectangular prism is `24` `cm`.
