Answer:

89.6 cm

Explanation:

From the question,

Volume of the rectangular object = Mass/Density.

V = m/D.................. Equation 1

Given: m = 1.278 kg, D = 4.98 g/cm³ = 4980 kg/m³

Substitute into equation 1

V = 1.278/4980

V = 2.57×10⁻⁴ m³.

But,

V = lwh............... Equation 2

Where l = length of the rectangular object, w = width of the rectangular object, h = height of the rectangular object.

make h the subject of the equation

h = V/lw........... Equation 3

Given: V = 2.57×10⁻⁴ m³, l = 0.047 m, w = 0.061 m.

Substitute into equation 3

h = 2.57×10⁻⁴/(0.047×0.061)

h = 0.896 m

h = 89.6 cm
