Question

A rectangular prism has a volume of 170 cubic centimeters.

Answer 1

The width of the prism is 2cm given length of the prism is 5 centimeters, and the height of the prism is 17 centimeter.

The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as:

V = LWH where:

• L is the length

• W is the width

• H is the height

Given the following:

V = 170cm³

L = 5cm

H = 17cm

Required

Width

Substitute the given values into the formula:

170 = 5 * 17 * W

170 = 85W

W = 170/85

W = 2cm

Hence the width of the prism is 2cm
