Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is 72 cubic units.If the length of the prism is 6 units what could the width and height be

Answer 1

3 units and 4 units

Explanation:

Given data

Volume of prism = 72 cubic units

Length of prism= 6 units

Width =????

The expression for the volume is

V= L*W*H

Also,

Volume = Area*L

72= Area*6

Area= 72/6

Area= 12 square units

Hence the possible width and Height is

3 units and 4 units

Because 4*3= 12 square units

Check

volume= 6*3*4= 72 cubic units
