Hi again!!

For every regular prism its Volume is the product between the area of
the base and its height:

Volume = Base area x Height

From this formula we have that:

Height = Volume / Base area =
       = 486 mm^3 / 54 mm^2 =
       = 9 mm

The height of the octagonal prism is 9 milimeters.


I hope this helps. Feel free to request for a clarification if it is needed.

Regards.
