Question

A fish tank in the shape of a right rectangular prism has a volume of 1,920 cubic inches. What is the width of the tank if the height is 12 inches and the length is 20 inches?(1 point)
in.

Answer 1

The volume of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula V = lwh, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

In this case, the volume is given as 1,920 cubic inches, the height is 12 inches, and the length is 20 inches.

So we can plug these values into the formula to find the width:

1,920 = 20w(12)

To solve for w, we can divide both sides of the equation by 240:

1,920/240 = (20w(12))/240

8 = w(12)/12

8 = w

Therefore, the width of the tank is 8 inches.
