Question

The length of a gift box is 4 times its height. If its lenth is 16cm and its volume is 896 cm what is the width of the gift box

Answer 1

14cm

Explanation:

l is length, h is height, and w is width.

We can construct the following equations:

l = 4h

volume = lwh

Given the length is 16cm, plugging the value into the first equation gives us a height of 4cm.

Based on the second equation, if we plug in the given length and volume values as well as our height value, we get:

896 = 16*4*w

w = 14cm.
