1. Problem Description

We are given a rectangular prism with a volume of 171.6171.6 cubic feet. The length of the prism is 1111 feet and the width is 22 feet. We need to find the height of the prism to the nearest tenth of a foot.

2. Solution Steps

The volume VV of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:
V=l×w×hV = l \times w \times h
where ll is the length, ww is the width, and hh is the height. We are given that V=171.6V = 171.6 cubic feet, l=11l = 11 feet, and w=2w = 2 feet. We need to find hh.
171.6=11×2×h171.6 = 11 \times 2 \times h
171.6=22h171.6 = 22h
h=171.622h = \frac{171.6}{22}
h=7.8h = 7.8

3. Final Answer

The height of the prism is 7.87.8 feet.
