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?

45 cm
158,400 cm
15 cm
40 cm
15 cm
To find the width of the box, you can divide the volume of the box by the product of the height and length.
Width = Volume / (Height * Length)
Width = 162,000 / (40 * 90)
Width = 162,000 / 3600
Width = 45
Therefore, the width of the box is 45 cm.
you sure ???
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's calculate the width again:
Given:
Height = 40 cm
Length = 90 cm
Volume = 162,000 cubic cm
We know that the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism is:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Substitute the given values:
162,000 = 40 x 90 x Width
162,000 = 3600 x Width
Width = 162,000 / 3600
Width = 45
Therefore, the width of the box is actually 45 cm. I apologize for the confusion earlier.
