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 90cm
To find the width of the box, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Given that the volume is 162,000 cubic centimeters, the length is 90 cm, and the height is 40 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:
162,000 = 90 × Width × 40
We can simplify this equation by dividing both sides by 90 × 40:
162,000 / (90 × 40) = Width
This simplifies to:
Width = 45
Therefore, the width of the box is 45 cm.
