The length of the prism is 15 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its length, its width, and its height.
The volume of a rectangular prism = [tex](length)(width)(height).[/tex]
Assume the length of this prism is [tex]l[/tex] feet, the width of the prism is 9 feet and the height is 8 feet.
The volume of the prism is given as 1,080 cubic feet.
Step 2:
The volume of a rectangular prism = [tex](length)(width)(height).[/tex]
[tex]1080=(l)(9)(8) = 72l,[/tex]
[tex]l = \frac{1080}{72} = 15.[/tex]
So the length of the rectangular prism is 15 feet.
