Question

farmer david builds a crate to hold veggies. the volume is 48 cubic feet. the base area is 16 square feet. what is the hight of the crate?

Answer 1

crate is a 3d has a constant base area hence

`volume = base \: area * length \\ volume = 48 \\ base \: area \: = 16 \\ solving \: for \: length \\ (volume)/(base \: area) = length \\substituting \: the \: values \: \\ (48)/(16) = 3 \: so \: the \: length \: is \: 3 \: feet`
