Find the height of a rectangle of a parallelepiped if its volume is 240 cm and the sides of the base are 5cm and 8cm

1. If the sides of the base of the parallelepiped are known, we can calculate the area of the base by multiplying one side of the base by the other, we get:
5 cm * 8 cm = 40 cm2.
2. Now we can find out the height of the parallelepiped by dividing its volume by the area of the base, then we get the following expression, calculate its value:
240/40 = 6 cm.
Answer: as a result of all calculations, we got that the height of this rectangular parallelepiped is 6 centimeters.
