Question
Claudia’s family is buying a new cabinet for their home. They need to know the width of the cabinet to make sure that it will fit in the space where they want to put it. Using the volume formula, V=lwh
, rearrange the formula to highlight the quantity of interest. Note that volume is represented with a capital V
in the formula.(1 point)

Answer 1

To rearrange the volume formula \( V = lwh \) to highlight the width (w), we need to isolate \( w \) on one side of the equation.

Starting with the volume formula:

\[
V = lwh
\]

To isolate \( w \), we can divide both sides by \( l \) and \( h \):

\[
w = \frac{V}{lh}
\]

So, the rearranged formula highlighting the width is:

\[
w = \frac{V}{lh}
\]
