Linear equations and inequalitiesSolve problems using formulas from geometryA rectangular flower box holds 1232 in3 of soil. Find the height of the box if it is 22. Long and 7 in. Wide.

Answer 1

The rectangular flower box is basically a rectangular prism. The volume of a rectangular prism is given by:

`V=l\cdot w\cdot h`

Where:

l = Length or long = 22in

w = width = 7in

h = height

V = Volume = 1232

Solve for h:

`\begin{gathered} h=(V)/(l\cdot w) \\ h=(1232)/(22\cdot7) \\ h=(1232)/(154) \\ h=8in \end{gathered}`
