Volume divided by area equals height when calculating the height of a three-dimensional shape, such as a rectangular prism, because height is the measurement of the third dimension in relation to the other two dimensions (length and width). Dividing the volume of the shape by its base area gives the height because volume represents the total space enclosed by the shape, and dividing by the base area isolates the height component. This relationship holds true for shapes where the height is perpendicular to the base and the shape is uniform throughout.

How do you find the base of a rectangular prism if you know the volume and height?
You can only find the area of the base with this information. The volume divided by the height will give you the area of the base.
The formula for finding the volume of a triangular prism?
A triangular prism can be thought of as a stack of triangles. Then the volume is equal to the area of the triangular base multiplied by the height of the prism, or 1/2 length * width * height.
Why is base times height divided by 2?
Because they derive the formula from the area of a square. A square is width x height (or base x height). If you cut the square into two equal triangles, you can get the area of only a single triangle by dividing by 2.
How do you find the volume of a base area of 32 cm squared with a height of 12 cm?
Multiply the base area by the height, and you have the volume.
How do you find the volume of the cylinder if only the base area and height are given?
The volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying the area of its base times its height.
How do you find the base area of a rectangle prism if you have the volume and height?
Volume divided by Height.
How to find the height of a cylinder given the volume?
Not enough information. The volume is the base area times the height; the height is therefore the volume divided by the base area.
What are some rules for volume and surface area?
volume is length x base x height and surface area is volume divided by height~
What does volume equal in math?
Volume of a prism is equal to the cross-sectional area multiplied by the height.
How can you find the base area of a rectangular prism if you know the volume and height?
Volume of a rectangular prism is equal to the base area x height. (V=BxH or Volume = Base Area * Height) To get the base area, simply divide the volume by the height. (B=V/H or Base Area = Volume / Height)
How do you find the the height of triangular prism if you already have volume and base?
The volume is equal to the area of the base multiplied by the height. So, to find the height, just divide the volume by the area of the base.
How do you find the base of a rectangular prism if you know the volume and height?
You can only find the area of the base with this information. The volume divided by the height will give you the area of the base.
What happens to the Surface Area and Volume of a pyramid if the radius and height are divided by 2?
The surface area is reduced by a factor 4, the volume by a factor 8.
How you can find the base area of a cube given its height and its volume?
Cube Volume = X3 The height would have to equal X All you would do is Volume/Height. Thus, you would get x3/X = X2
How do you find volume area of a pyramid?
length times width times height divided by six
How do you find the height of a retangular bos given the volume and the area of the bottom of my box?
Using consistent units, the height = volume divided by footprint area (in the case of your rectangular box). so H = V/A
What is the formula for height?
This is the answer for a physics question for those who need the help of height: area/length /= divide Also, the volume divided by the area of the base will give the height. V / Ab = h
