To find the width of the box, we first need to calculate the volume of a right rectangular prism using the formula V = lwh, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Given:
Length (l) = 90 cm
Height (h) = 40 cm
Volume (V) = 162,000 cubic cm
Now, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the width (w):
162,000 = 90w(40)
162,000 = 3600w
w = 162,000 / 3600
w = 45 cm
Therefore, the width of the box is 45 cm.
Hakeem is building a box in the shape of a right rectangular prism to store his toys. It has a volume of 162,000 cubic centimeters. What is the width of the box if the height is 40 cm and the length is 90 cm?
