Explain how you would find the height of a rectangular prism if you know that the volume is 60 cm³ and that the area of the base is 10 cm²

We can find the height by looking at what we know, and what we want to know.

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism can be found with the equation:

base width x base length x height = volume

We also know that the base's width x length = 10cm^2, so we can fill in what we know into the volume equation.

10cm^2 x height = 60cm^3

Solving this equation we find that the height if the prism is 6 cm.
