To find the width of the box, we can use the formula for volume of a rectangular prism: V = length x width x height.
Given that the volume (V) is 162,000 cubic centimeters, the length (L) is 90 cm, and the height (H) is 40 cm, we can solve for the width (W) as follows:
V = L x W x H
162,000 = 90 x W x 40
Dividing both sides of the equation by (90 x 40), we get:
W = 162,000 / (90 x 40)
W = 45 cm
Therefore, the width of the box is 45 cm.
