Question

A shipping container has a volume of 48 cubic meters. What could be the dimensions (length, width, height) of the container if none of the dimensions are 1 m? Explain how you found the dimensions.

Answer 1

6m * 4m * 2m

Explanation:

Given that :

Cubic volume = 48 m³

Possible dimension if none of the dimensions is 1 m

Volumetric Dimension = (length * width * height)

The product of the three dimensions must give 48m³

Constraint : none of the dimensions has a volume of 1 m.

Hence, possible dimension :

6m * 4m * 2m = 48m²

Hence, one possible dimension is :

6m * 4m * 2m
