Explanation:

Step1: Recall the volume formula for a rectangular prism

The volume formula for a rectangular prism is \(V = B\times h\), where \(V\) is the volume, \(B\) is the base area, and \(h\) is the height.

Step2: Solve for the height \(h\)

We know that \(V = 131.2\) units³ and \(B=32\) units². Rearranging the formula \(V = B\times h\) to solve for \(h\) gives \(h=\frac{V}{B}\).
Substitute the values: \(h=\frac{131.2}{32}\).
Calculate \(\frac{131.2}{32}=4.1\).

Answer:

\(4.1\)
