Given:
• Volume of rectangular prism, v = 1.87 cubic inches
,
• Width, w = 1 inch
,
• Length, L = 1.1 inh
,
• height, h = y
Let's find the value of y which is the height of the rectangular prism.
To find the height of the rectangular prism, apply the formula for volume:
[tex]V=l\times w\times h[/tex]
Where:
V is the volume
w is the width
h is the height.
l is the length.
Substitute values into the formula and solve for h:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1.87=1.1\times1\times y \\ \\ 1.87=1.1y \end{gathered}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 1.1:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1.87}{1.1}=\frac{1.1y}{1.1} \\ \\ 1.7=y \\ \\ y=1.7\text{ inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of y is 1.7 inches.
ANSWER:
1.7
