A rectangular solid has a base with length 6 cm and width 5 cm. If the volume of the solid is 300 cm3, find the height of the solid. [Hint: The volume of a rectangular solid is given by V = LWH.]
L W H = 300 cm^3
6 * 5 * H = 300
H = 300/30
To find the height of the rectangular solid, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular solid: V = LWH.
Given the values: L = 6 cm, W = 5 cm, and V = 300 cm³, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for H:
300 cm³ = 6 cm * 5 cm * H
Multiplying the length and width:
300 cm³ = 30 cm² * H
To solve for H, we divide both sides of the equation by 30 cm²:
300 cm³ / 30 cm² = H
Simplifying:
10 cm = H
Therefore, the height of the solid is 10 cm.
