Many famous Egyptian pyramids are rectangular pyramids. The formulas for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is V = 1/3 lwh. Solve this formula for w, the width of the pyramid.

What?

Parth (parthkohli):

Attempt this question..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve this.//

Parth (parthkohli):

That's how you practice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Erm? I'm not in geometry anymore. I got a B+ there. Thanks, though.

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

\[\large\\V= \frac{1}{3}LWH\]

Parth (parthkohli):

This is algebra.

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Solve for \(W\)

Parth (parthkohli):

Algebraic word problems.

Parth (parthkohli):

Can you do it? @rebeccaskell94

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

\[\large 3V = LWH\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It does not give any more numbers

Parth (parthkohli):

Yep, so you divide both sides by \(LH\).

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

\[\large 3V = LHW\]

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Move \(LH\) to the LHS

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

\[\large LHW = 3V\]

Parth (parthkohli):

@Mimi_x3 How did you multiply LH to both sides?

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

I did not multiply anything yet lol Just manipulation
