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?

To find the width of the box, we first need to calculate the volume of a right rectangular prism using the formula V = lwh, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Given:
Length (l) = 90 cm
Height (h) = 40 cm
Volume (V) = 162,000 cubic cm
Now, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the width (w):
162,000 = 90w(40)
162,000 = 3600w
w = 162,000 / 3600
w = 45 cm
Therefore, the width of the box is 45 cm.
