A rectangular prism has a volume of 1,280 cubic units. The area of the base is 32 square units and the width is 5 units. What is the height of the prism?



Answer :

40 units

======================

Use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

  • Volume = Base Area × Height

We are given the volume of the prism as 1280 cubic units and the area of the base is 32 square units.

We can rearrange the formula to solve for the height. This gives us:

  • Height = Volume / Base Area
  • Height = 1280 / 32
  • Height = 40 units

So, the height of the prism is 40 units.
