6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism = l x w x h, where h is height. So, we have to work out the height of the first prism in the following way. 224 divided by (8 x 4), which gives 7. So, to find l in the second prism, we have to:

L x W x H = 210

L x 5 x 7 = 210

L x 35 = 210

L = 210 divided by 35 = 6
