A storage trunk is shaped like a rectangular prism. The trunks volume is 18 cubic feet. The length of the trunk is 6 feet, and the width of the trunk is 2 feet. What is the height of this trunk.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular trunk (a prism) is V = (length)(width)(height).

Here, V = 18 ft³ = (6 ft)(2 ft)(height).

We must solve for (height).

Divide both sides by (height):

18 ft³

--------- = 1.5 ft

12 ft²

The height of the trunk is 1.5 ft.

Height: 1.5feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

  1. (18÷6)÷2=x

Step 2

  1. Do 18÷6. This changes the equation to 3÷2=x

Step 3

  1. Do 3÷2, which equals 1.5. This gets you your answer od 1.5feet for the height.
