Question

The formula for the volume V of a rectangular prism is V = ℓwh, where ℓ represents the length, w represents the width, and h represents the height. Rearrange the quantities in this formula to give a new formula for the width of the rectangular prism.

Answer 1

w = V / lh

Explanation:

V = ℓwh

Where,

V=volume of a rectangular prism

l= length of the rectangular prism

w= width of the rectangular prism

h= height of the rectangular prism

Rearrange the quantities in this formula to give a new formula for the width of the rectangular prism.

V = ℓwh

It can be written as

V = l * w * h

w = V ÷ l * h

= V / lh

w = V / lh

Width of a triangular prism equals Volume of the rectangular prism divided by length of the rectangular prism times height
