Hey there :)

We know the volume formula of rectangular prism is:
Volume = Length × Width × Height

We are given:
Volume = 1428 in³
Height = 6 in
Length = 17 in
Width = p

Apply the formula!
1428 = 6 × 17 × p
1428 = 102p

Divide by 102 on either side to isolate p
[tex] \frac{1428}{102} = \frac{102p}{102} [/tex]
p = 14 

The width is 14 inches
