Hakeem is building a box in the shape of a right rectangular prism to store his toysIt has a volume of 162,000 cubic centimetersWhat 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 can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: V = lwh.
Given:
Volume (V) = 162,000 cubic cm
Height (h) = 40 cm
Length (l) = 90 cm
We want to find the width (w).
Plugging in our given values into the formula, we have:
162,000 = 90 * w * 40.
To find w, divide both sides of the equation by (90 * 40):
w = 162,000 / (90 * 40).
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we get:
w = 18.
Therefore, the width of the box is 18 cm.
