Question

A rectangular prism has volume 8,624 cubic meters, length 4 meters,

and height 44 meters. Find its width, in meters.

Answer 1

Volume=length x height x width
8624=4(44)w
8624=176w
Divide by 176
W=49

Answer 2

49

Explanation:

Because the volume of a rectangular prism is
`lwh`, where l is length, w is width, and h is height, then
`4(44)w=8624`. Dividing both sides by 4, we have
`44w=2156`. Dividing both sides by 4 again, we have
`11w=539`. Now, dividing both sides by 11, we have
`w=49`
