Question

The volume of a box is 1344 cm cubed. The height of the box is 8cm. The length of the box is triple the height. Find the with (w).

Answer 1

7 cm

Explanation:

The volume of a rectilinear shape is the product of its length, width, and height. Fill in the given information and solve for the width.

... V = l·w·h

... 1344 cm³ = (3·8 cm)·w·(8 cm) . . . . . . to find w, divide by its coefficient

... 1344 cm³/(192 cm²) = w = 7 cm

The width of the box is 7 cm.
