Answer 1

To find the width of the box, we can divide the volume by the product of the length and height.

Volume = length * width * height

162,000 = 90 * width * 40

To find the width, divide both sides of the equation by the product of the length and height:

width = 162,000 / (90 * 40)
width = 162,000 / 3,600
width = 45 cm

Therefore, the width of the box is 45 cm.
