Question

Abbey is adopting a kitten. Abbey has a rectangular container to bring the kitten home in. The container has a volume of 3,100.5?*cubed* If the length of the container is 10.6 in and the height is 15 in, what is the width of the container? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Given:

`\\`

• Volume = 3100.5 in³
• Length of container = 10.6 in
• Height of container = 15 in.

`\\`

To find:

`\\`

• Width of container

`\\`

Solution:

`\\`

So as we know container is in cuboidal shape.

Therefore we can find value of width using formula of volume of cuboid.

`\\`

We know:-

Volume of cuboid = L × W × H

where :-

L = length of cuboid

W = width of cuboid

H = height of cuboid

`\\`

So:-

`\\`

⇢ Volume of cuboid = L × W × H

`\\`

⇢ Volume of cuboid = 10. 6 × 15 × W

`\\`

⇢ 3100.5 = 10. 6 × 15 × W

`\\`

⇢ 10. 6 × 15 × W = 3100.5

`\\`

⇢ W = 3100.5/(10. 6 × 15 )

`\\`

⇢ W = 31005/(106 × 15 )

`\\`

⇢ W = 2067/(106 × 1 )

`\\`

⇢ W = 2067/106

`\\`

⇢ W = 19.5 in
