To find the width of the cabinet, we need to rearrange the formula to solve for w (width).
The volume formula is V = lwh
To isolate w, divide both sides by (lh):
w = V / (lh)
Therefore, the quantity of interest, in this case, is the width (w).
Claudia’s family is buying a new cabinet for their home. The height of the cabinet is 5 ft., its length is 4 ft., and its volume is 60 ft.3. 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.
