Question

The volume, V, of a rectangular prism is determined using the formula V=lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the prism.

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

Explanation:

Because we are trying to find the length, we are going to need to change the equation in order to isolate L.

You divide wh with v.

V/wh = L

Now, since the quantity of the volume is 138.24, we divide that by 9.6 x 3.2

Solve 9.6 x 3.2. This would give you 30.74.

Divide 138.24 by 30.74 and your answer should be 4.497...

Rounding that by the nearest 10th would get you 4.5!
