Hakeem is building a box in the shape of a right rectangular prism to store his toys. It has a volume of 162,000 cubic centimeters. What is the width of the box if the height is 40 cm and the length is 90 cm?(1 point)
To find the width of the box, we need to use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is length times width times height.
Let's call the width of the box "w".
The volume of the box is 162,000 cubic centimeters.
So, we can set up the equation:
90 cm * w * 40 cm = 162,000 cubic cm
Multiplying the numbers and variables gives:
3600w = 162,000
Dividing both sides by 3600 gives:
w = 45
Therefore, the width of the box is 45 cm.
