If the volume of a right rectangular prism is 1.5 in.3

and its length and width have a product of 1.5 in.2
, what is the height of this prism?(1 point)
in.

1 answer

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

\[ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

Given:

  • Volume (V) = 1.5 in³
  • Product of length and width = 1.5 in²

Let's denote:

  • Length = \( l \)
  • Width = \( w \)
  • Height = \( h \)

From the information given, we know:

\[ l \times w = 1.5 \text{ in}^2 \]

The volume equation can now be expressed as:

\[ 1.5 = (l \times w) \times h \]

Substituting the product of length and width:

\[ 1.5 = 1.5 \times h \]

To find \( h \), we can divide both sides by 1.5:

\[ h = \frac{1.5}{1.5} = 1 \]

Therefore, the height of the prism is:

\[ \boxed{1} \text{ in} \]
