Question

Using this formula, what is the width of a rectangular prism that has a volume of 138.24 cubic inches, a height of 9.6 inches, and a length of 3.2 inches? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

4.5 inches

Explanation:

Put the given values in the volume formula and solve for width:

V = LHW

138.24 = (3.2)(9.6)W

138.24/30.72 = W = 4.5

The width of the prism is 4.5 inches.
