Question

The volume, V, of a rectangular prism is determined using the formula V=lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the prism.
Using this formula, what is the width of a rectangular prism that has a volume of 138.24 cubic inches, a height of 9.6 inches, and a length of 3.2 inches? Round to the nearest tenth.
0.2 inches
4.5 inches
46.1 inches
414.7 inches

Answer 1

Soln:-

w = 4.5 inches

Given:-

l = 3.2 inches

h = 9.6 inches

V = 138.24 inches ³

To find :-

Width of the rectangular prism

Expln:-

V = lwh = 138.24

(9.6)(3.2)w = 138.24

30.72 w = 138.24

w = 138.24 / 30.72

w = 4.5 inches /-
