A rectangular solid has a base with length 10 cm and width 9 cm. If the volume of the solid is 270 cm3, find the height of the solid. [Hint: The volume of a rectangular solid is given by V = LWH.]

your L=10
W=9
H=?
V= 270
since V= LWH
therefore, 270=10*9*H
270/90 = h divide both side by 90
3= h

multiply the length, the width, and the height together to find the volume
if you already know the length, the width, and the volume, you can easily find the height
V = 270 cubic cm
L = 10 cm
W = 9 cm
H = ?
set up the equation and substitute the known numbers into the equation
270 = (10)(9)H
270 = 90H
divide both sides by 90 to get your height, thus
H = 3
ANSWER
height = 3 cm

10 x 9 x H = 270
H = 270 / (10 x9)
H = 3 cm,
