Answer:

Height = 750 in^

Step-by-step explanation

To solve the problem, you will need to use a little bit of trigonometry.

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is the shape of a box, is:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

So you need to use the formula to solve for the Variable that is missing, which is the height (h).

The formula is:

750 in^3 = Length x Width x Height

Now that we have the formula, we can input the other dimensions, L and W.

Length = 8 in, Width = 10 in, Height

The only missing variable is "height" or "h"

So we're going to use the formula:

750 in^3 = Length x Width x Height

In this case, you're trying to figure out the height of the box.

You already know the length (8 in) and width (10 in).

So let's plug those values into the formula:

750 in^3 = (8 in) x (10 in) x Height

So we know the height has to be equal to:

Height = 750 in^
