Find the height of a rectangular parallelepiped if its volume is 240 cm in a rectangle

Find the height of a rectangular parallelepiped if its volume is 240 cm in a rectangle and the side of the base is 5 cm and 8 cm.

To solve this problem, you first need to determine the area of the base of the rectangular parallelepiped.

To do this, we multiply its length and width among ourselves.

We get:

5 * 8 = 40 cm2

Since we know the volume of the figure, to determine the height of the parallelepiped, we divide the indicated volume by the found area of the figure.

Will be:

240/40 = 6 cm.

Answer:

The height of the parallelepiped is 6 cm.
