----
Volume = (area of base)*height
120 = 30*h
h = 4

"What is the height of a solid with a volume of V=120m%5E3 and a base area of b=30m%5E2?
recall, a formula for a volume: V=b%2Ah where b is the base and h is the height
so, h=V%2Fb
h=120m%5E3%2F30m%5E2...simplify
h=cross%28120%294%2Am%5Ecross%283%29%2Fcross%2830%291cross%28m%5E2%291
h=4m
