Jim has a box in the shape of a rectangular prism. The area of the base of the box is 48 square inches. The volume of the box is 144 cubic inches.

Let \( h \) be the height of Jim's box. Write and solve an equation you can use to find the height of Jim's box.

Answer (2)

The height of Jim's rectangular prism box can be found by dividing the volume of the box (144 cubic inches) by the area of the base (48 square inches), which gives a height of 3 inches. ;

The height of Jim's rectangular prism box can be found by dividing the volume (144 cubic inches) by the area of the base (48 square inches), resulting in a height of 3 inches. We used the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism to solve for height. This provides a clear and logical approach to determining the missing dimension of the box.
