Question

Emily convinced her mom to buy a giant box of her favorite cereal. Her mom doesn't think the box will fit on their shelf. The volume of the box is 10,000 cm 3 cubed. The base of the box is 25 cm by 10 cm. How tall is the box of cereal?

Answer 1

Answer: The box of cereal is 40 cm tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = base area x height

The base area is given as 25 cm x 10 cm = 250 cm^2.

10,000 cm^3 = 250 cm^2 x height

height = 10,000 cm^3 / 250 cm^2

height = 40 cm
