To find the width of the prism, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: volume = length * width * height. Given that the volume is 60 cubic centimeters, the length is 5 centimeters, and the height is 4 centimeters, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the width.
width = volume / (length * height)
width = 60 / (5 * 4)
width = 60 / 20
width = 3 centimeters
Therefore, the width of the prism is 3 centimeters.
To find the width of the rectangular prism, we can use the formula for volume.
Volume = length × width × height
Substituting the given values:
60 = 5 × width × 4
Now we can solve for the width:
60 = 20 × width
width = 60 ÷ 20
width = 3
Therefore, the width of the prism is 3 centimeters.
To find the width of the rectangular prism, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is given by:
Volume = length * width * height
In this case, we know the volume is 60 cubic centimeters, the height is 4 centimeters, and the length is 5 centimeters. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
60 = 5 * width * 4
To solve for width, we need to isolate it. Divide both sides of the equation by the product of 5 and 4:
60 / (5 * 4) = width
Simplifying this expression gives:
60 / 20 = width
3 = width
Therefore, the width of the prism is 3 centimeters.
