HELP!

A right rectangular prism has a volume of 144 cubic centimeters and a height of 4 centimeters. What are a possible length and width, in centimeters of the prism

Answer 1

36 and 1, 18 and 2, 12 and 3, 9 and 4, and 6 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is the length times the width times the height.
`(l*w*h)`

So, we take 144 and divide it by 4, since we are going backward.

`(144)/(4) = 36.`

We are left with 36, so here are some possible lengths and widths:

`36 * 1 = 36.\\18 * 2 = 36.\\12 * 3 = 36.\\9 * 4 = 36.\\6 * 6 = 36.`
