\"The volume of a rectangular prism can be found using the formula v=lwh.
\n" ); document.write( " If a rectangular prism has a volume of 48a^9b^2, a length of 4a^2b2 and a width of 4a^5, what is its height?\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We can write this situation:
\n" ); document.write( "length * width * height = volume
\n" ); document.write( "so we have
\n" ); document.write( "4a^2b^2 * 4a^5 * h = 48a^9b^2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "multiply length and width, 4 * 4 and by adding exponents of like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "16a^7b^2 * h = 48a^9b^2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 16a^7b^2, you have
\n" ); document.write( "h = \"%2848a%5E9b%5E2%29%2F%2816a%5E7b%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "divide by canceling 16 into 48 and subtracting exponents of like terms
\n" ); document.write( "h = \"3a%5E%28%289-7%29%29b%5E%28%282-2%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "h = \"3a%5E2b%5E0\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "any number with an exponent of 0 is 1, so we have
\n" ); document.write( "h = \"3a%5E2\" is the height
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
