To find the width of the box, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is V = lwh, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
In this case, we know that the volume (V) is 162,000 cubic centimeters, the length (l) is 90 centimeters, and the height (h) is 40 centimeters.
Plugging in these values into the formula, we have:
162,000 = 90 * w * 40
To solve for the width (w), we can divide both sides of the equation by 90 * 40:
162,000 / (90 * 40) = w
Simplifying:
180 = w
Therefore, the width of the box is 180 centimeters.
