Question

A 16,000 cubic inch refrigerator has a square base. The refrigerator is 40 inches tall. Determine the area of the base of the refrigerator.

Answer 1

400 in^2

Explanation:

A square has equal sides, s and the area = s * s

volume of refrigerator = s *s * h

= s^2 * 40 = 16000

s^2 = 400

s = 20 inches so area = 20 * 20 = 400 in^2
