A prism has a volume of 62 cubic inches and the area of the base is 4 square inches. What is the height of the prism

Question

I need help finding out the height of the volume of 62 cubic inches and the area of the base is 4 square inches.

Answer 1

V = bh

Volume of a prism = area of base times height

62 cubic inches = 4 sq. inches(h)

You want to get h alone on one side of the =

Remember if you do the same thing on both sides of the equal sign things remain equal.

so divide by 4 sq. inches on both sides of the equal sign

Anything divided by itself = 1 so 4 sq. inches (h) / 4 sq. inches

1(h) = h

62 cubic inches / 4 sq. inches = 4 sq. inches (h) / 4 sq. inches

62 cubic inches / 4 sq. inches = (4 sq. inches) (h) / 4 sq. inches

62/4 = 15.5 and cubic inches /square inches = inches

so

15.5 inches = (h)

You no longer need the parentheses for multiplication

15.5 = h

The height is 15.5 inches

h = 15.5 inches

Answer 2

V = bh

62 = 4h

Can you solve for h and answer?
