To find the width of the tank, we need to use the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism:
Volume = Length x width x height.
Given that the volume is 1,920 cubic inches, the height is 12 inches, and the length is 20 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:
1,920 = 20 x width x 12
To find the width, we divide both sides of the equation by 20 x 12:
1,920 ÷ (20 x 12) = width
Simplifying the denominator:
1,920 ÷ 240 = width
The result is:
8 = width
Therefore, the width of the tank is 8 inches.
Volume = Length x width x height.
