From the picture, we know the dimensions of the tissue box, which is a prism. The exercise is to find the width w of the base of the prism. Let's see the diagram!
Now we can see that the prism has the height h of 5 12 centimeters and the base length l of 20 centimeters. The volume V of the prism is 1375 cubic centimeters. The volume of a rectangular prism with length l, width w, and height h can be calculated using the following formula.
V= l w h
We can substitute the known values into this formula.
1375= 20 ( w) ( 5 12)
Now, we will write all the terms in the right side of the equation as fractions.
