Stuck on this question for past hour please help!

The volume of a rectangular prism is 2,058 cubic cm. The length of the prism is 3 times the width. The height is twice the width. Find the height of the prism.

I really cannot figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Rectangular Prism
Three Dimensions
H = Height
W = Width
L = Length

"Volume is 2058 cm^3"

So, H*W*L = 2058 cm^3

Okay, you translate the next sentence.

First thing to remember - another name for "rectangular prism" is "box" (noun).

If "box" (verb), then you can learn about it watching a hockey game!
But not a cricket game: at those, all they do is make sure they don't get their white uniforms dirty!
