Answer 1

To find the width of the box, we can use the volume formula for a rectangular prism: volume = length x width x height.

Let's plug in the given values: 162,000 = 90 x width x 40.

Divide both sides of the equation by (90 x 40) to isolate the width: width = 162,000 ÷ (90 x 40).

Calculating this, we find that width is equal to 45 cm.

So, the correct answer is 45 cm.
