To find the width of the box, we need to rearrange the formula for volume of a rectangular prism. The formula is V = lwh, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
In this case, we are given the volume V = 162,000 cubic centimeters, the height h = 40 cm, and the length l = 90 cm. We want to find the width w.
Rearranging the formula, we have w = V / (lh).
Substituting the given values, we have w = 162,000 / (90 * 40) = 162,000 / 3600 = 45 cm.
Therefore, the width of the box is 45 cm.
