Answer:
width of the pan is, 10 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a pan(V) is given by:
[tex]V = lwh[/tex] ....[1]
where
l is the length , w is the width and h is the height of the pan.
As per the statement:
The volume of the pan is 120 in³.
The length of the pan is 8 in., and its height is [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in.
⇒V = 120 in³., l = 8 in and h = [tex]1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5[/tex] in.
Substitute these in [1]
[tex]120 = 8 \cdot w \cdot 1.5[/tex]
⇒[tex]120 = 12w[/tex]
Divide both sides by 12 we have;
w = 10 in.
Therefore, the width of the pan is, 10 in.
