Correct Answer: 12 cm
Solution : Given: The base of a prism is a right-angle triangle whose sides are 9 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm. The volume of this prism is 648 cm 3 . Base area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × Perpendicular × Base = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 9 × 12 = 54 cm 2 The volume of the prism = Base area × Height ⇒ 648 = 54 × Height ⇒ Height = 12 cm So, the height of the prism = 12 cm Hence, the correct answer is 12 cm.
