Answer 1

To find the width of the box, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

Volume = length * width * height

Plugging in the given values, we have:

162,000 = 90 * width * 40

To solve for the width, we divide both sides by (90 * 40):

width = 162,000 / (90 * 40)

Simplifying, we get:

width = 18 cm

Therefore, the width of the box is 18 cm.
