Article: The volume for any prism can be found by using the formula V=Ah{\displaystyle V=Ah}, where V{\displaystyle V} equals the volume of the prism, A{\displaystyle A} equals the area of one base, and h{\displaystyle h} equals the height of the prism. The base of a prism is one of its congruent sides. Since all opposite sides of a rectangular prism are congruent, any side can be used as the base, as long as you are consistent in your calculations. If you do not know the volume, you cannot use this method. For example, if you know the volume of the prism is 64 cubic meters (m3{\displaystyle m^{3}}), then your formula will look like this:64=Ah{\displaystyle 64=Ah} To find the area, you need to know the length and width of the base (or of one side, if the base is a square). Use the formula A=lw{\displaystyle A=lw}. To find the area of a rectangle. For example, if the base is a rectangle with a length of 8 meters and a width of 2 meters, to find the area you would calculate:A=(8)(2){\displaystyle A=(8)(2)}A=16m2{\displaystyle A=16m^{2}} Make sure you are substituting for the variable A{\displaystyle A}. For example, if you found the area of the base to be 16 square meters, then your formula will look like this:64=16h{\displaystyle 64=16h} This will give you the height of your prism. For example, if your equation is 64=16h{\displaystyle 64=16h}, you would need to divide each side by 16 to find h{\displaystyle h}.Thus:6416=16h16{\displaystyle {
rac {64}{16}}={
rac {16h}{16}}}4=h{\displaystyle 4=h}So, the height of your rectangular prism would be 4 meters.

Set up the formula for the volume of a prism. Plug the volume into the formula. Find the area of the base. Plug the area of the base into the volume of a prism formula. Solve the equation for h{\displaystyle h}.
Article: Snails can actually be difficult to purchase in a pet store. Garden snails can be taken straight out of your garden. Because many consider snails pests rather than pets, there are regulations on which snails can be sold where. It is illegal in the United States to import snails from other countries, and your state may even have laws against bringing in species from other states. Native snails can be easily found in gardens and wooded areas and are probably your best bet for your first pet snail. Popular snails like the Giant African Snail, Decollate snails, giant Ghana tiger snails, and margies are all illegal in the US. Snails can live anywhere from 3-15 years in captivity. Keep in mind that this is a long-term commitment if you don't plan on keeping a snail for that long, choose a native species so you can release your pet if you choose. Snails like to feed on crops and gardens, and a non-native snail can do a lot of damage to local ecosystems if released. Remember, a snail is not just a slug with a shell. If you want a pet slug, you need to research what a slug, not a snail, needs to be healthy and happy. Snails enjoy companionship, and having a buddy to interact with will keep your snail entertained and happy. It will also make them more fun to observe. The difference for caring for two snails versus one is minimal, so it will cost you very little in money or time to get your snail a companion. Try to stick to the same species of snail, as one species may carry different pests or diseases that are harmful to the other. Groups of snails tend to sleep huddled together, which indicates they seek out each other's company.

Decide what kind of snail you want. Consider buying more than one snail.
Article: If you think you have a worm virus, download a dedicated virus removal tool to scan for and remove viruses. Do this even if you already have antivirus software, as the software on your computer may be infected. Once you've chosen a virus removal tool, download it to your desktop. Most companies that sell antivirus software also offer free virus removal tools. Some options besides Microsoft's own are Kaspersky Free Virus Scan and Sophos Virus Removal Tool. If you can't use a web browser on the infected computer, use a different computer to download a virus removal tool, then burn it to a CD or DVD. Insert the burned disc into the infected machine, press Win+E to launch File Explorer, then double-click your DVD-ROM drive to find the tool. Worms and other malware can hide in the System Restore files, which may hide them from virus removal tools. You should turn off System Restore before running the removal tool to prevent this from happening. Windows 7 and Vista users should type "protection" into the search box instead, then click "System protection." " This works on any Windows version. If you have a separate antivirus program like McAfee or Kaspersky, open it and find the "settings" or "options" area, then find an option for "disable" or "turn off." Once the program is disabled, you'll probably see a message that says your computer is at risk. You can ignore it for now as you'll be restoring it soon. The computer will then reboot into the Chose an Option screen. This begins the process of booting into Safe Mode on a Windows 8 or 10 computer. To access Safe Mode on Windows 7 or Vista: Reboot the computer and tap the F8 key repeatedly as it restarts until you arrive at the Boot Options screen. " In Windows 7, use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode with Networking," then press Enter to boot into that mode. You are now in safe mode and can skip the next few steps intended for Windows 10/8 users. " The computer will reboot a second time. Or, if you inserted a CD/DVD that contains the tool, double-click the tool to open it. The scan will take at least several minutes to complete. Depending on the computer, software, and infection level, this may take over an hour. Once the virus scan is complete, the antivirus tool will report its results. If you see prompts to "quarantine" (another term for safely removing the malware from your PC), follow them so that the files are properly destroyed. Some programs, such as Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool, will remove the malware/worms without your intervention. If nothing is found, it's very likely that you don't have a worm virus. If you still think you may be infected, try one of the other virus-removal tools. " The computer will reboot normally, without a worm infection. Don't skip this step! To allow Windows to create automatic restore points for emergency use, return to the System Restore (called "System Protection" in Windows Vista and 7) dialog and check "Turn on system protection". If you previously disabled your antivirus software, turn it back on now. Windows Defender is an antivirus/anti-malware suite built into Windows. Most PC manufacturers install free trial versions of antivirus software suites, which disable Defender by default. Enabling Defender is a great (and free!) way to keep your computer safe from worms. Press S to launch search, then type "defender". Click "Windows Defender" in the search results, then (in Windows 8, 10) click "Settings," and flip the following switches to the "On" position: Real-time protection, Cloud-based protection, and Automatic sample submission. In Windows Vista and 7, click "Tools," then "Options," and then "Administrator." Select "Use this program," then click "Save".

Download a virus removal tool like Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool. Press Win+S to open Search, type "restore", then click "Create a restore point" in the search results. Click "Configure" on the dialog, then check "Disable System Protection. Disable your third-party antivirus program if you have one. Restart the computer to the login screen, then hold Shift as you click "Power," then "Restart". If you are using Windows 10 or Windows 8, click "Troubleshoot," then "Advanced Options. If you are using Windows 10 or Windows 8, click "Startup settings," then "Restart. If you are using Windows 10 or Windows 8, press F5 or 5 at the Boot Options screen to enter Safe Mode with Networking. Now that you are in Safe Mode, double-click the virus removal tool on your desktop. Click "Start scan"(or something similar). Quarantine worms and other malware. Click "Power" in the Start menu, then select "Restart. Re-enable System Restore. Set your antivirus program to monitor your PC in real-time. Enable Windows Defender if you don't presently have other antivirus protection.
