To rearrange the formula for volume \( V = lwh \) to solve for \( h \), we will use the division property of equality. The division property states that if you divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal.
Starting with the original equation:
\[ V = lwh \]
To isolate \( h \), we can divide both sides of the equation by \( lw \):
\[ \frac{V}{lw} = \frac{lwh}{lw} \]
On the right side, the \( lw \) in the numerator and denominator cancels out:
\[ \frac{V}{lw} = h \]
Thus, the rearranged formula for \( h \) is:
\[ h = \frac{V}{lw} \]
