Answer:

b = 49 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism: length × width × height

V = L×W×H

  • v = 48,608 cm³
  • l = b cm
  • w = 16 cm
  • h = 62 cm

Substitute the values above and solve for b:

48,608 = b × 16 × 62

48,608 = 992b

48,608/992 = 992b/992

49 = b

Final answer: 49 cm

Hope this helps!

Answer:

b = 49 cm

Explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism = width × length × height

Given:

  • volume = 48,608 cm³
  • width = 16 cm
  • length = b
  • height = 62 cm

Substituting the given values into the formula and solving for b:

⇒ 48608 = 16 × b × 62

⇒ 48608 = 992 b

⇒ b = 48608 ÷ 992

⇒ b = 49
