Question

A clothing truck is shaped like a rectangular prism. The volume of the truck 15 ft cubed. The area of the base of the container is 6 ft squared. What is the height of the clothing truck in feet

Answer 1

Given :

The volume of rectangular prism shape clothing truck = V = 15 cubic feet

The area of base of prism = A = 6 square feet

To Find :

The height of the clothing truck in feet

Solution :

Let The height of the clothing truck = H feet

∵  Volume of rectangular prism = Area of base × height of prism

Or,                                           V  = A × H

Or,                                     15 ft³  = 6 ft² × H

∴                                              H = $\dfrac{15}{6}$

i.e                                            H = 2.5 feet

or, Height = H = 2.5 feet

Hence, The height of the rectangular prism shape clothing truck is 2.5 feet , Answer
