Question

A manager at a shipping company will purchase boxes in the shape of a right rectangle prisms he wants the volume of each box to be exactly 98 cubic ftwhich figure shows a box with the dimensions in feet that the manager will purchase

Answer 1

We have that the general equation for the volume of a rectangle prism is:

`V=lwh`

where l represents the length of the base, w represents the width of the base and h represents the height of the prism.

Since we need that the volume be equal to 98ft³, we have that the measures for the prism are:

`V=(7)(3.5)(4)=98ft³`

therefore, the prism would look like this:}
