can u explain
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to find the volume of an object, you must multiply the 3d figure's dimensions which is depth, width, length. since the length, depth, and volume are found you must find the width using the expression of [L*D]/V=W

hmmm from lwh=v what would "w" be?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
W=15.5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how is 6.45=15.5???????????
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
is not, because 40 * w * 10.5 = 6510 \(\ne 6.45\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
40*10.5=420 6510/420=15.5
