Question

A rectangular box with a square base contains 24 cubic feet. if the height of the box is 18 inches, how many feet are there in each side of the base?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

V = Lwh

the volume (given) = 24 ft^3

the height (given) = 18" = 1.5'

24 = L*w*1.5

divide both sides by 1.5

16 = Lw

You need to find the number of feet in each side of the base

since the box has a square base

L = W

AND, found above, L*w = 16

so 4*4= 16

Answer - 4
