Answer:

  1 1/3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the surface area of the prism can be written as ...

 A = 2(lw +h(l+w))

Filling in the given values and solving for h, we find ...

  68 2/3 = 2(3·7 + h(3+7))

  68 2/3 = 42 +20h . . . . eliminate parentheses

  26 2/3 = 20h . . subtract 42

  1 1/3 = h . . . . . . . divide by 20

The height of the prism is 1 1/3 inches.
