Answer:
width of the rectangular prism is 4.5 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Carltren solves for w and writes the equivalent equation as [tex]w=\frac{V}{lh}[/tex]
Now, we have to find the width of a rectangular prism that has a volume of 138.24 cubic inches a height of 9.6 inches and a length of 3.2 inches.
Thus, we have
V = 138.24 cubic inches
l = 3.2 inches
h = 9.6 inches.
Substituting these values in the above formula to find w
[tex]w=\frac{138.24}{3.2\cdot9.6}[/tex]
On simplifying, we get
[tex]w=4.5[/tex]
Thus, width of the rectangular prism is 4.5 inches.
