The area of a cross section perpendicular to the base of a rectangular prism is 45 square inches. If the length and width of the base are 5 inches each, what is the height of the prism?
The height of the prism is
inches.

The height of the prism is 2.25 inches

It is given that the area of the cross section of the rectangular prism is 45 square inches.

Length of the rectangular prism is 5in

Width of the rectangular prism is 5 in

To determine the height of the prism, let us substitute these values in the formula

The lateral area=45 in^2

Lateral area=4*[length*width]

length=x in

width=5 in

thus:

45=4[5*x]

45=20x

x=45/20

x=2.25 inches long
