Question

Kyle has a storage box that is 2 ft. long, 3 ft. high, and has a volume of 12 ft.3

12 ft.3
. Myla has a storage box that is 4 ft. high, 2 ft. long, and has a volume of 16 ft.3
16 ft.3
. What are the widths of Kyle and Myla's boxes? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

Kyle:( 2 x 3 + 12) + Myla: ( 4 x 3 + 16 )
Kyle:18
Myla:28
The Widths are 46

Answer 2

Alright, let get started.

Kyle has a storage box having dimensions 2 ft long, 3 ft high and volume 12 cubic feet.

The formula for volume is =
`length * width * height`

Suppose the width is w so,

`12 = 2 * 3 * w`

`12 = 6w`

Dividing by 6 in both sides

w = 2 feet

Myla has a storage box that is 4 ft high and 2 feet long and volume 16 cubic feet.

Suppose the width is w hence

`16 = 4 * 2 * w`

`16 = 8 w`

Dividing 8 in both sides

w = 2 feet

Hence the width of Kyle and Myla's boxes, both are 2 feet. : Answer
