Question

10. The base area of a rectangular wood is 120m. If its volume is 720m, find its thickness.​

Answer 1

Thickness is 6 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Area of the base of rectangular wood,
`A=120\textrm{ }m^(2)`

Volume of the rectangular wood,
`V = 720\textrm{ }m^(3)`

Volume of the rectangular wood is given as,

`V=A* h`

Where,
`h` is the thickness of the rectangular wood.

Plug in
`720\textrm{ }m^(3)` for
`V` and
`120\textrm{ }m^(2)` for
`A`. Solve for
`h`.This gives,

`V=A* h\\ 720 = 120* h\\ h = (720)/(120)=6\textrm{ m}`

Therefore, the thickness of the rectangular wood is 6 m.
