We can model the suitcase as a rectangular prism.
 The volume of the prism is:
 V = (l) * (h) * (w)
 Where,
 l: length
 h: height
 w: width
 Clearing the width we have:
 w = (V) / ((l) * (h))
 Substituting values we have:
 w = (1083) / ((19) * (9.5))
 w = 6 inches
 Answer:
 an equation to represent the width is:
 w = (V) / ((l) * (h))
 the width of the suitcase is:
 w = 6 inches
