Question

Use the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism to find the volume of the figure. Write your answer in decimal form.

Width: 1.5

Length: 4

volume: 0.7

Answer 1

The formula for the volume \( V \) of a right rectangular prism is given by:

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

From the given dimensions,

- Width = 1.5
- Length = 4
- Volume = 0.7

We can rearrange the formula to solve for height:

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

Substituting the values we have:

\[
\text{height} = \frac{0.7}{4 \times 1.5}
\]

Calculating the denominator:

\[
4 \times 1.5 = 6
\]

Now, substituting back:

\[
\text{height} = \frac{0.7}{6} \approx 0.1167
\]

Thus, the height is approximately \( 0.1167 \) in decimal form.
