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

We find the value of the area of the base of the parallelepiped given to us, for this we need to multiply the value of the width of the base by the value of the length of the base:

5 * 8 = 40 cm2 – the value of the base area of the parallelepiped given to us;

Let’s find the value of the height of this parallelepiped, for this we need to divide the value of the volume of this parallelepiped by the value of the area of the base:

240: 40 = 6 cm – the value of the height of this parallelepiped.

Answer: 6 cm is the value of the height of this parallelepiped.
