Question

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula, V = lwh/3 where 1 is the base length, w is the width of the base, and h is the height. Solve the formula for w.

Answer 1

I'll use uppercase L to avoid confusing it with the uppercase letter "i" or the numerical digit "1".

`V = (Lwh)/(3)\\\\3V = Lwh\\\\Lwh = 3V\\\\w(Lh) = 3V\\\\w = (3V)/(Lh)\\\\`

The final answer is
`w = (3V)/(Lh)\\\\`

Another way of writing the final answer is to write w = (3V)/(Lh)
