Question

a rectangular hat box has a volume of 5184 cubic inches. The box is 24 inches long by 18 inches wide what is the hat box's height ?

Answer 1

A rectangular box has a volume of:

`V=lwh`

Plugging the values given we have:

`\begin{gathered} 5184=24\cdot18\cdot h \\ 5184=432h \\ h=(5184)/(432) \\ h=12 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the height of the box is 12 inches.
