We can start by using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume of rectangular prism = Base area × Height
We are given that the volume of the prism is 288 in, and the base area is 16 in, so we can substitute those values into the formula:
288 = 16 × Height
Solving for Height, we can divide both sides by 16:
Height = 288 ÷ 16
Height = 18
Therefore, the height of the rectangular pyramid is 18 inches.
A rectangular Pyramid has a base area of 16in., and a congruent rectangular prism has a volume of 288 in.What is the height of the rectangular Pyramid?
