Solution
Height of rectangular solid = 5 × width
and length = 8 × height = 8 × 5 × width = 40 × width
Volume = 102.4 cm3
Let width = w
Then height = 40w
and height = 5w
`therefore "w" xx 40"w" xx 5"w" = 102.4`
`"w"^3 = 102.4/(40 xx 5) = 0.512`
= `(0.8)^3`
∴ w = 0.8
∴ Length = 40w = `40 xx 0.8`
= 32 cm
