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

• L=10.6in
• H=15.6in
• B=?

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow V=LBH`

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3100.5=10.6(15)B`

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3100.5=159B`

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow B=(3100.5)/(159)+19.5`

Answer 2

width = 19.5 in

Explanation:

volume of a rectangular prism =
`wlh`

where
`w` is the width,
`l` is the length and
`h` is the height

Given:

• volume = 3100.5 in³
• length = 10.6 in
• height = 15 in

⇒ 3100.5 =
`w` x 10.6 x 15

⇒ 3100.5 = 159
`w`

⇒
`w` = 3100.5 ÷ 159

⇒
`w` = 19.5 in
