Question

The volume of a container is 40 cm3. It has a length of 4 cm, a width of 2 cm. What is the height of the container?

5 cm
32 cm
34 cm
320 cm

Answer 1

5cm
4x2 =8, 8x5 =40
so 4 x 2 x 5 = 40cm3

Answer 2

The volume of container can be calculated by the following formula

Volume = length * width * height

Given that

Volume = 40cm^3

Length = 4 cm

Width = 2 cm

And therefore height will be calculate as follows:

Height = volume / length * width

= 40 cm^3 / 4 cm* 2 cm

= 5 cm

Hence the correct answer is 5 cm
