En un diseño que se está estudiando, cada envase tendrá la forma de un prisma rectangular con una altura de [tex]$11 \frac{1}{2}$[/tex] pulgadas y un largo de [tex]$7 \frac{1}{2}$[/tex] pulgadas. ¿Cuál será el ancho, en pulgadas, de cada envase?

A. 3
B. 4
C. 14
D. 15

Answer :

To determine the width of the prism-shaped container, we need more information than just the height and length. The question provides the dimensions of height as [tex]\(11\)[/tex] inches and the length as [tex]\(7 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] inches, but it doesn’t provide any details about the volume or any other dimension-related information that would help us in defining the width.

In a typical geometry problem involving a prism, if we're given the height and length and asked to find the width, we would expect to also have information about the total volume of the prism or the surface area. Without either of these, it is impossible to definitively calculate the missing dimension, which is the width in this scenario.

Since the problem doesn't specify a volume or provide additional context, we cannot determine the width solely based on the height and length. Thus, the width cannot be calculated without further information.
