Question 346088: The volume of a rectangular prism is 2058 cm. The length of the prism is three times the width. The height is twice the width. Find the length of the prism. Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by the formula:
volume=length*width*height.
Let V = 2058
Let length = 3x
Let width = x
Let height = 2x
2058 = (3x)(x)(2x)
2058 = (3x^2)(2x)
2058 = 6x^3
