Question

1. A box has square ends. Its length is 13 cm longer than its width and the volume of the box is 60 cubic centimeters. What are the dimensions of the box?

Answer 1

2 cm

Explanation:

Given that

The length is 13 cm longer than its width

And, the volume of the box is 60cm^3

We need to find out the dimension of the box

Since the box has square ends

So,

the height is equivalent to the width

Let us assume the width be W so the height also be W

Now the length is W + 13

The volume is

W × W × (W + 13) = 60

After solving this W is 2 cm
