Question

John has to build a box for his scouting project with a volume of 36 cubic centimeters.

The base of the box is 6 cm long and 2 cm wide.
How high should John build the box?

Answer 1

John should build the box 3 cm high.

Explanation:

John should build the box 3 cm high because to find the volume you must do length x width x height. To find this you have to multiply the length x width. In this problem 6 would be the length and 2 would be the width. After multiplying those you get 12. You then have to find what number multiplies with 12 to get 36, which is 3. Hope this helped!
