Question

Kyle has a storage box that is 2 ft. Long, 3 ft. High, and has a volume of 12 ft. 3 12 ft.3. Myla has a storage box that is 4 ft. High, 2 ft. Long, and has a volume of 16 ft. 3 16 ft.3. What are the widths of Kyle and Myla's boxes? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

Answer: The widths of Kyle and Myla's boxes is the same as 2 ft.

Explanation:

Formula : Volume of cuboidal box = length x width x height

`width=(Volume)/(length* height)`

Given: Kyle has a storage box that is 2 ft. Long, 3 ft. High, and has a volume of 12 ft³ .

`width=(12)/(2*3)=2\ ft.`

Myla has a storage box that is 4 ft. High, 2 ft. Long, and has a volume of 16 ft³.

`width=(16)/(4*2)=2\ ft.`

Hence, the widths of Kyle and Myla's boxes is the same as 2 ft.
