A brick has a length of 22 cm and a width of 17 cm. If the volume of the brick is 3,740 cm3, then find the height of the brick
since v = l*w*h, you want
22*17*h = 3740
To find the height of the brick, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = length * width * height
Given that the length is 22 cm, the width is 17 cm, and the volume is 3,740 cm3, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:
Height = Volume / (length * width)
Substituting the given values into the formula:
Height = 3,740 cm3 / (22 cm * 17 cm)
Now we can calculate:
Height = 3,740 cm3 / (374 cm2)
Height ≈ 10 cm
Therefore, the height of the brick is approximately 10 cm.
