Find the height of the rectangular parallelepiped if its volume is 60 cm3 and the area

Find the height of the rectangular parallelepiped if its volume is 60 cm3 and the area of the rectangle lying at the base of the parallelepiped is 0.12 dm2.

For correct calculations, it is necessary to bring the data to a common unit of measurement.

In one square decimeter, 100 square centimeters, which means the area of the rectangle lying at the base of this parallelepiped is:

Sb = 0.12 dm2 * 100 = 12 cm2.

The volume of a parallelepiped is equal to the product of the area of the base and the height:

V = S main * h.

From here, we find the height of the parallelepiped: h = V / Sb = 60 cm3 / 12cm2 = 5 cm.
