You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated as
\n" ); document.write( "\"Volume+=+%22%28+base%22\" \"area\" \"%22%29%22%2A%28height%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "NOTE: you have to use the same units, as in using inches for the height, square inches for the base area and cubic inches for the volume.
\n" ); document.write( "Luckily you have the volume in cubic centimeters and the base area in square inches, so the formula can be used to give you the height in inches.
\n" ); document.write( "If you had the volume in cubic centimeters and the base area in square inches you would have to convert one or the other to have the same units.
\n" ); document.write( "\"Volume+=+%22%28+base%22\" \"area\" \"%22%29%22%2A%28height%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2400+=+%28400%29%2A%28height%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2400%2F400=height\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"height=6\" , in inches, of course.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
