Question

lucy wants to put a cube-shaped storage box on a shelf that is 18 inches tall . The side of the box is 250 square inches . will the box fit on the shelf ?

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

If the side of the cubic box is:

`l^(2)=250 in^(2)`

The length of each edge of this cube is:

`l=\sqrt{250 in^(2)}`

`l=15.8 in`

So, if the shelf that is 18 inches tall and
`l=15.8 inches` the box wil fit on the shelf.
