What is a rectangular prism?

• A three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces, where opposite faces are equal.

• A two-dimensional shape with four equal sides.

• A three-dimensional shape with eight triangular faces.

• A flat shape with no volume.

How can you find the height of a rectangular prism if you know the volume and the area of the base?

• Height = Volume + Area of the base.

• Height = Volume × Area of the base.

• Height = Volume ÷ Area of the base.

• Height = Volume - Area of the base.
