Question

What is the width of a rectangular prism that has a length of 4.5 feet, a height of 6 feet and a volume of 256.5 feet cubed? Please answer!

Answer 1

9.5 feet

Explanation:

To calculate volume, the formula is V = l*w*h.

We have the volume, length, and height, so we just need to plug it in to find the width. 256.5 = 4.5*w*6. Calculate this, and it'll become 256.5 = 27w. Then we divide both sides by 27 to find w. 256.5/27 = 27w/27. 9.5 = w. Width is 9.5 feet.
