Question

Look at the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism below.

V = lwh

Which of the following is the formula to find width (w)?

Answer 1

V = LWH
V / LH = W <===

Answer 2

`w=(V)/(lh)`

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism(V) is given by:

`V=lwh`

where,

l is the length

w is the width and

h is the height of the rectangular prism.

As per the statement:

The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism below.

`V=lwh`. ....[1]

We have to find width(w).

Divide both sides by lh in [1] we have;

`(V)/(lh) = (lwh)/(lh)`

Simplify:

`(V)/(lh) =w`

or

`w=(V)/(lh)`

Therefore, the formula to find width (w) is,
`w=(V)/(lh)`
