volume = 100 cm³
width = 5 cm
height = 10 cm
length = ?
Volume is computed by multiplying the length, width, and height of an object.
Volume = length width height
100 cm³ = length 5 cm 10 cm
100 cm³ = length 50 cm²
100 cm³ / 50 cm² = length
2 cm = length
to check:
100 cm³ = 2 cm 5 cm 10 cm
100 cm³ = 10 cm² 10 cm
100 cm³ = 100 cm³
