Answer 1

To find the height of the rectangular prism, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]

Given:
- Volume = 128 cubic yards
- Base Area = 8 square yards

We can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:

\[
\text{Height} = \frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Base Area}}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Height} = \frac{128 \text{ cubic yards}}{8 \text{ square yards}} = 16 \text{ yards}
\]

Therefore, the height of the prism is:

\[
\boxed{16}
\]
