Use the division property of equality to rearrange the equation V = lwh for the quantity of interest h.

Question

A. h = lw/V
B. w = V - lh
C. h = V/l - w
D. h = V/lw

Answer 1

To rearrange the equation \( V = lwh \) for the quantity of interest \( h \), we can use the division property of equality.

Starting with the original equation: \[ V = lwh \]

To solve for \( h \), we can divide both sides by \( lw \): \[ h = \frac{V}{lw} \]

Thus, the correct rearrangement for \( h \) is: \[ h = \frac{V}{lw} \]

The correct answer is: D. h = V/lw
