A rectangular prism has A length of 1/2 foot and the height of 1/4 foot. What is the width of the right rectangular prism if its volume is 1/4 cubic foot?
(1/2)(1/4)w = 1/4
...
To find the width of the right rectangular prism, we can use the formula for volume:
Volume = length x width x height
Given:
Length = 1/2 foot
Height = 1/4 foot
Volume = 1/4 cubic foot
Substituting the given values into the volume formula, we get:
1/4 = 1/2 x width x 1/4
Now, let's solve for the width. We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 to cancel out the denominators:
4 * (1/4) = 4 * (1/2) x width x (1/4)
1 = 2 x width x 1
Next, we can cancel out the factor of 2 on the right side:
1 = width
Therefore, the width of the right rectangular prism is 1 foot.
