An antique wooden chest has the shape of a rectangular prism. It has a width of 16 inches. Its length is 4 times its height. The
volume of the chest is 4,096 cubic inches. What is the height of the chest?

Respuesta :

Considering the dimensions of the given rectangular prism and it's volume, the height of the chest is of 8 inches.

What is the volume of a rectangular prism?

The volume of a rectangular prism of width w, length l and height h is given by the multiplication of these dimensions, as follows:

V = lwh

For this problem, the dimensions are given as follows:

w = 16, l = 4h, V = 4096.

Hence the height of the chest can be found as follows:

lwh = 4096

16 x 4h x h = 4096

h² = 4096/64

h² = 64

h = 8.

Hence, the height of the chest is of 8 inches.
