Question

A rectangular prism has a volume of 2,288 cubic meters, a height of 13 meters, and a length of 22 meters. What is the measure of the missing dimension?

Answer 1

The measure of the missing dimension (width) is 8 m.

Explanation:

A rectangular prism (also called cuboid) has a volume of
`2288 m^3`.

The volume of a rectangular prism is given as:

V = length * width * height

`V = l * w * h`

The prism has a height of 13 m, and a length of 22 m.

The missing dimension is the width.

To find the width, we make width subject of the volume formula:

`w = (V)/(l * h)`

Hence, the width is:

`w = (2288)/(13 * 22) \\\\w = 8 m`

The measure of the missing dimension (width) is 8 m.
