Question

How would I figure out what L= is if V=168 yd W= 7 yd H= 3 yd?

Answer 1

We can assume that the shape is a rectangular prism by the given dimensions

Volume of a rectangular prism
Volume = Area of Base × Height of prism
= Length × Width × Height of prism
Substitute!
168 = L × 7 × 3
168 = L × 21
Divide 21 on either sides to isolate L


`(168)/(21)` =
`(L*21)/(21)`
21 and 21 cancels out

8 = L
L = 8 yd
