A prism is a three-dimensional solid with two parallel bases, or faces, that are congruent.[1] The shape of the base determines what type of prism you have, such as a rectangular or triangular prism. Because it is a 3D shape, finding the volume (space inside) of a prism is a common task; however, sometimes you will need to find the height of a prism. Finding the height is possible if you have enough information already given: either the volume, or the surface area and perimeter of the base. The formulas described in these methods can work for prisms with bases of any shape, provided you know the formula for finding the area of that shape.

Volume of a Rectangular Prism The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula: volume=length*width*height
No.
Volume of a rectangular prism is length x height x width.
There is not enough information to determine the height.
The volume of a rectangular prism is base*height*length in cubic units
