the length of a rectangular prism is 4 feet, and the width is 3 feet. The volume of the prism is 9 cubic feet. In inches, what is the height of the prism?
A) 6 inches
B) 8 inches
C) 9 inches
D) 10 inches
The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh. Plugging in what we have: 9 = 4(3)(h) 9 = 12h Now we cancel the 12 by dividing: 9/12 = 12h/12 3/4 = h However, this is in feet. We must convert to inches: 3/4 (12) = 3/4(12/1) = 36/4 = 9 inches.
