Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is 180cm3. If the length of the prism is 6m and the height is 5 cm, what is the width of the prism

Answer 1

Hello!

To find the volume of a rectangular prism you use the equation

V = lhw

v is volume
l is length
h is height
w is width

Put in the values you know

180 = 6 * 5 * w

Divide both sides by 6

30 = 5 * w

Divide both sides by 5

6 = w

Answer is 6cm

Hope this helps!
