RossTo find the height, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is length x width x height. Rearranging the formula, we have height = volume / (length x width). Substituting the given values, the height of the rectangle prism would be 120 in cubed / (4in x 6in) = 5 in.

Give an example of volume?
Volume is length times width times height. ^_^ Say, a 3-D rectangle. height: 8cm length: 5cm width: 4cm 5x4x8 5x4=20 20x8=160 And remember, volume is always cubed. Volume of the rectangle = 160cm3
Why are there cubed units on volume?
Because you multiply 3 different terms for volume: length, width, and height
If the volume of a rectangle is 420.75 centimeters cubed and the base is 49.5 centimeters cubed then what is the height?
A rectangle is a plane figure and so cannot have a volume. It can have an area, but the area would be square centimetres not cm cubed. Furthermore, the base should have a length, which should be expressed in centimetres, and not centimetres cubed. Alternatively, the question concernes a rectangular cuboid, whose volume IS 420.75 cm cubed. Its base has an area of 49.5 square centimetres. Given all this uncertainty in the question, it cannot be answered in a meaningful way.
What is the real definition of volume in math is?
volume is defined as distance cubed, or length times width times height
How do you solve for width when all you have is the Volume of a rectangle?
The question is not solvable. Volume is a three-dimensional concept. Rectangles are two-dimensional Width is a single dimension. Assumption: Submitter used the word Volume, but meant Area -------- To solve for Width of a Rectangle, given its Volume, you would need to know the Length of the Rectangle: Area = Width x Height so Width = Area / Length Assumption: Submitter used the word Rectangle, but meant Cube -------- To solve for Length of the side of a Cube of given Volume (in units cubed): Volume = Width x Height x Depth (which are all the same for a cube), so Volume = (Width of a side)^3 (cubed) so working from Volume to Width: Width = Volume^-3 (read: The cube root of the Volume) If another editor has a better means of entering the mathematical expressions, please have a go!)
