Question

Answer 1

Answer:

width = 19.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a rectangular prism = $wlh$

where $w$ is the width, $l$ is the length and $h$ is the height

Given:

• volume = 3100.5 in³
• length = 10.6 in
• height = 15 in

⇒ 3100.5 = $w$ x 10.6 x 15

⇒ 3100.5 = 159$w$

⇒ $w$ = 3100.5 ÷ 159

⇒ $w$ = 19.5 in

Answer 2

• L=10.6in
• H=15.6in
• B=?

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow V=LBH$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3100.5=10.6(15)B$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3100.5=159B$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow B=\dfrac{3100.5}{159}+19.5$
