If the volume of a right rectangular prism is 1.5 in. 3 and it's length and width have a product of 1.5 in. 2 , what is the height of this rectangular prism?(1 point) Responses 1in. 1in. 2 in. 2 in. 1.5 in. 1.5 in. 2.25 in.

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

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

We are given that the volume \( V = 1.5 , \text{in}^3 \) and that the product of the length and width is:

\[ \text{length} \times \text{width} = 1.5 , \text{in}^2 \]

Let \( L \) be the length and \( W \) be the width. Thus, we have:

\[ L \times W = 1.5 , \text{in}^2 \]

Now we substitute this product into the volume formula:

\[ 1.5 = (L \times W) \times \text{height} \]

Substituting \( L \times W \) gives us:

\[ 1.5 = 1.5 \times \text{height} \]

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

\[ \text{height} = \frac{1.5}{1.5} = 1 \]

Therefore, the height of the rectangular prism is

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