To find the length of the rectangular prism, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is:
Volume = length x width x height
Given that the volume is 840 cubic inches, the height is 6 inches, and the width is 10 inches, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the length:
840 = length x 10 x 6
840 = length x 60
length = 840 / 60
length = 14
Therefore, the length of the rectangular prism is 14 inches. I found this length by rearranging the volume formula and solving for the length using the given values for the volume, height, and width of the prism.
