the volume of a prism is 56cm^3 if the length is 7cm and the width is 4 cm what should be the height?
7*4*h = 56
what is the height?
Solve Steve's equation for h.
i get 2
Yes, you're right.
To find the height of the prism, we can use the formula for the volume of a prism:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Given that the volume of the prism is 56 cm^3, the length is 7 cm, and the width is 4 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:
56 cm^3 = 7 cm x 4 cm x Height
Now, let's solve for the height:
Height = (56 cm^3) / (7 cm x 4 cm)
Height = 56 cm^3 / 28 cm^2
Height = 2 cm
Therefore, the height of the prism should be 2 cm.
