Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is 288 ft3. If its height is 6 feet and its length is 8 feet, what is its width?
A. 6 feet
B. 8 feet
C. 9 feet
D. 12 feet

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

Not really... I'm fine with finding height but finding width is my weak spot.

Answer 3

Recall the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V = l*w*h

Answer 4

I am pretty sure it is 6...

Answer 5

But try entering the possible answers into the equation.

Answer 6

\[288=6*8*width\]
\[288=48*width\]
\[\frac{ 288 }{ 48 } = width\]

Answer 7

Ok... Thanks. I'll try working off of the information everyone gave me.

Answer 8

I believe the answer is 6...

Answer 9

Correct :-)

Answer 10

Don't forget your units.

Answer 11

Not just 6.

6*(1 foot) = 6 feet.
