Finding Width of Right Rectangular Prism from Volume, Height, and Length
The problem is asking us to find out the width of a right rectangular prism given the volume, the height, and the length.
We know that the volume (V) of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:
V = length × width × height
The volume (V) is given as 15,375.92 cubic yards, the height (h) is 8.19 yards, and the length (l) is 11.2 yards. We need to find the width (w).
We can rearrange the formula to solve for width:
width = V / (length × height)
Now let's substitute the given values:
width = 15,375.92 / (11.2 × 8.19)
width = 15,375.92 / 91.728
width ≈ 167.6 yards
So, the width of the right rectangular prism is approximately 167.6 yards.
