Answer:

8 inches

Explanation:

The problem gives us a basic formula, the volume formula for a rectangular prism. All we have to do is use this formula, plug in all the values that are given, and solve for the unknown value.


V = lwh


192 = l(12)(2)


192 = 24l

From here, all we need to do is divide 24 from both sides of the equation, since what you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other!


8 = l

The length of the box will thus be 8 inches.
