Find the height of the rectangular parallelepiped if its volume is 240 cm3, and the sides of the base are 5 cm and 8 cm.

A rectangular parallelepiped is a parallelepiped with each face being a rectangle.

Its volume (numerical characteristic of the space occupied by the body) is calculated by the formula:

V = a * b * c. Provided that this value is 240 cm³, and the known measurements are 5 and 8 cm, we find the height of such a figure:

a = V: b: c = 240: 5: 8 = 48: 8 = 6 cm.
