A rectangular prism is 6 meters long and 3 meters high. It's volume is 72 cubic meters what is the width of the rectangular prism

Given the volume of a rectangular prism is 72 m³ its length is 6 m its height is 3 m Find its width Solution

The volume is given in terms of length (L), width (W), and height (H) by

... V = LWH

Fill in the given information to get

... 72 m³ = (6 m) ·W· (3 m)

Divide by the coefficient of W to get

... W = (72 m³) / (18 m²) = 4 m

The width of the prism is 4 meters.
