Question

A large moving box has a volume of 20 cubic meters. The width of the box is 0.5 meter. The length and the height of the box are each whole number measurements that are greater than 3 meters.

What could be the possible dimensions of the box?
The box has a length of (blank)
meters, height of (blank)
meters, and width of 0.5 meter.

Answer 1

The moving box has a volume of 20 m^3. The width of the box is 0.5.
The volume of the box has a formula of
Volume = length * width * height.
20 = 0.5 * length * height

Let length and height be x and y, respectively
20 = 0.5 * x *
20 = 0.5xy
40 = xy
xy = 40

The possible dimensions of length and height that are greater than 3 are:
(1) 8m & 5m
(2) 10m & 4m
