Question

The volume of a rectangular box is 1,701 cubic inches. The box has a height of 10.5 inches and a length of 24 inches. What is the width of the box?

6.75 inches

70.875 inches

162 inches

252 inches

Answer 1

The volume of a cuboid is:
width x depth x height

Hence we can formulate this equation for the volume:
10.5 x 24 x width = 1,701
252 x width = 1,701
Width = 6.75 (divide by 252)

Check for the equation:
10.5 x 6.75 x 24 = 1,701.

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

6.75 inches. 10.5 X 24 gives you the area of the face, then to find the width you do the total area divided by this number. 1701/252=6.75
