________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________
Consider a "rectangular prism".
________________________________________________
The formula for the Volume of a rectangular prism:
________________________________________________
V = L * w * h ;
_________________________________________________
in which:
V = volume = 120 in.³ ;
L = length = 8 in.
w = width = ??
h = height = 1.5 in.
____________________________________________
We want to solve for "w" (width) ;
____________________________________________
Given the formula:
____________________________________________
V = L * w * h ;
____________________________________________
Rewrite the formula; by dividing EACH SIDE of the equation by
"(L * h)" ; to isolate "w" on one side of the equation;
and to solve for "w" ;
_____________________________________________
→ V / (L * h) = ( L * w * h) / (L * h) ;
to get:
_________________________________
→ V / (L * h) = w ;
↔ w = V / (L * h) ;
_________________________________
Plug in our given values for "V", "L"; and "h"; to solve for "w" ;
____________________________________________________
→ w = (120 in.³) / (8 in. * 1.5 in.) ;
→ w = (120 in.³) / (12 in.²) ;
→ w = (120/12) in. = 10 in.

nice
i think there's supposed to be more to the problem lol
These are not similar. For them to be similar, they need to exist in proportion to each other for every single side. The ratio of the 12:9 sides is 4:3 when reduced. The ratio of the other 2 sides is 5:3. They all have to have the same ratio for them to be similar.
A=1 and 2
B=2 and 4
C=1,2,7 and 14
D=1,2,4,and 8
