Question

The volume of a rectangular prism can be computed using the formula v= Iwh what is the length of a prism that has a volume of 1334 cubic cm a width of 8 cm and height of 12 cm ?

A. 896 cm
b. 14 cm
c. 18 cm
d. 111cm

Answer 1

Length of the prism is 18.8958cm (Rounded off to four decimal places)

Explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism = Length * Width * Height

Volume of the rectangular prism =
`1334cm^(3)`

Width of the prism = 8cm

Height of the prism = 12cm

We need to find the length of the Prism,

For that first make the Length as subject of the equation,

Length = [Volume of the rectangular prism/(Width * Height)]

=
`1334cm^(3)`/(8cm*12cm)

=
`1334cm^(3)`/
`96cm^(2)`

=18.8958cm (Rounded off to four decimal places)
