Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is 288 ft3. If its height is 6 feet and its length is 8 feet, what is its width?

a. 6 feet

b. 8 feet

c. 9 feet

d. 12 feet

Answer 1

6 ft

Explanation:

Volume = (height) (width) (length), so

(width) = (volume) / [ (height) * (length) ]

Here, the width is:

(width) = (288 ft^3) / [ (6 ft) * (8 ft ) ] = 288/48 ft = 6 ft

The width of the rectangular prism is 6 ft
