the volume of a rectangle is 576 cubic meters. The lenth is 12 meters and the width is 6 meters. What is the height of the prism?
The height is 8 meters, because L times W times H equals volume, and 12 times 6 equals 72, and 576 divided by 72 is 8.
ok thx

To find the height of the rectangular prism, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
In this case, we know that the volume is 576 cubic meters, the length is 12 meters, and the width is 6 meters. Let's substitute these values into the formula and solve for the height:
576 = 12 × 6 × Height
To isolate the height variable, we divide both sides of the equation by (12 × 6):
576 ÷ (12 × 6) = Height
Simplifying this equation gives us:
576 ÷ 72 = Height
8 = Height
Therefore, the height of the rectangular prism is 8 meters.
