The correct Answer is:
To find the height of the room given its volume and the area of its floor, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formulas We know the formula for the volume of a rectangular room: \[ \text{Volume} = \text{Area of the floor} \times \text{Height} \] And the formula for the area of the floor: \[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \] ### Step 2: Write down the given values From the problem, we have: - Volume of the room = \( 378 \, m^3 \) - Area of the floor = \( 84 \, m^2 \) ### Step 3: Set up the equation for height Using the volume formula, we can express height as: \[ \text{Height} = \frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Area}} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the known values Now, substitute the known values into the equation: \[ \text{Height} = \frac{378 \, m^3}{84 \, m^2} \] ### Step 5: Perform the division Now, calculate the height: \[ \text{Height} = \frac{378}{84} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the fraction To simplify \( \frac{378}{84} \): - Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 42: \[ \frac{378 \div 42}{84 \div 42} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \] ### Step 7: State the final answer Thus, the height of the room is: \[ \text{Height} = 4.5 \, m \] ### Conclusion The height of the room is \( 4.5 \, m \). ---
