The volume of any prism = base area x height
Given Volume = 264 in^3
The prism is triangular based
Therefore, its base area = 1/2 x base x height
The base of the triangle= 8in
Height of the triangle = 6in
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Base area = }\frac{1}{2}\text{ x 8 x 6} \\ \text{Base area= 24in}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Recall, Volume = Base area x height} \\ H\text{eight = }\frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Base area}} \\ \text{ Height=}\frac{264in^3}{24in^2} \\ \\ \text{Height}=11\text{ in} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The height of the prism is 11 in.
