Answer: x = 84cm

Volume of a rectangular prism = L x w x h / 3

Where L = length

W = width

H = height

Volume = 280 cubic centimeters

Height = 14cm

Length = 6 cm

Width = xcm

280 = 14 * 6 * x / 3

280 = 84 * x / 3

280 = 84x / 3

cross multiply

280 x 3 = 84x

840 = 84x

Divide both sides by 84

840/84 = 84x

x = 840/84

x = 10 cm

The value of x is 84cm
