1. Problem Description

We are given a rectangular prism with a volume of 343.2 cubic inches. The dimensions of the prism are 13 inches, 3.3 inches, and bb inches. We need to find the value of bb.

2. Solution Steps

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:
Volume=length×width×heightVolume = length \times width \times height
In this case, the volume is 343.2 cubic inches, and the dimensions are 13 inches, 3.3 inches, and bb inches. So, we have:
343.2=13×3.3×b343.2 = 13 \times 3.3 \times b
343.2=42.9×b343.2 = 42.9 \times b
To find the value of bb, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 42.9:
b=343.242.9b = \frac{343.2}{42.9}
b=8b = 8

3. Final Answer

The value of bb is 8 inches.
