The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is:
Volume = L * W * H
Where:
L signifies the length of the prism;
W signifies the width of the prism; and
H signifies the height of the prism

In the question we are given:
L = 8 meters
W = 4 meters
H=  ?
H = [Assuming it to be: X]
Volume = 64 meters3

So to find the height lets plug in all these values in the equation.
Hence:
Volume = L * W * H
64 = 8 * 4 * X
Multiplying:
64 =32X
To solve for X lets shift the number with it to the other side that is divide 64 by 32:
64/32 = X
So:
2 = X
OR
X=2
Hence the value of X is 2 which means that the height of the rectangular prism is 2 meters
