Question 1068252: what is the answer of if a cubicaltank has 6m long 3m height and
105 volume What is the width? with solution

Well we know that volume is equal to length time width times height.
We can translate this to algebraic form as: V=L%2AW%2AH
From your problem, we are given the following:
Cubical tank is:
- 6m long (length)
- 3m height (height)
- 105m volume (volume)
Let's plug in what we know:
105=6%2AW%2A3
We were not given the width, so let's solve for it!
105=6%2AW%2A3
Divide both sides by 18 to get:
105%2F18=W+
This simplifies to15.833333333...=W+ on a calculator
Your final answer would be:
The width of the cubical tank is about 15.83 meters wide.
By the way, the tank would not be a cubical since all four sides would have to be the same (which they are not). In other words, 105 is not a perfect cube.
