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. |
Answer» Width of the rectangular prismIt is GIVEN to us that the volume of the rectangular prism is CALCULATED by the given formula :-
Where, v = volume l = length W = width h = height Now, In the QUESTION we are given :- v = 138.24 cubic inches h = 9.6 inches l = 3.2 inches w = ? SUBSTITUTE these values in the volume formula given :- 138.24 = 3.2 * w * 9.6 138.24 = 30.72 * w w = 138.24/30.72 w = 4.5 ⇒ The width of the rectangular prism is 4.5 inches. |
