If the volume of the rectangular prism is 360cm3 and the height is 28cm, what is the width and the length?
not enough information,
all we know is that the base will be 360/28 or 90/7 cm^2
the length and width could be any combination to give a product of 90/7
e.g length = 30, then width = 3/7
check: (30)(3/7)(28) = 360
get your butt off of this and get back to work or you'll be greeting my chancla when ur back from school
To find the width and length of the rectangular prism, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = Length * Width * Height.
We are given the volume as 360 cm^3 and the height as 28 cm. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
360 = Length * Width * 28.
To find the width and length, we need to solve this equation. Let's rearrange the equation:
Length * Width = 360 / 28.
Length * Width = 12.857.
Now we need to find two numbers that multiply to give us approximately 12.857. We can start by listing the factors of 12.857:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12.857.
We can see that there are no whole numbers that satisfy the equation Length * Width = 12.857, since there are no whole number factors of 12.857.
Therefore, the width and length of the rectangular prism cannot be determined with the given information.
