Answer:

The box is 5 inches tall

Explanation:

The given dimensions of the video games are;

The length of the video game, L = 15 inches

The width of the video game, W = 10 inches

The volume of the video game box, V = 750 cubic inches

Assuming that the shape of the video game box is a cuboid, we have;

The formula for the volume of a cuboid, V = Length, L × Width, W × Height, H

∴ V = L × W × H

The height of the cuboid, H = V/(L × W)...(1)

Where, for the video game box;

L = Length = 15 in.

W = Width = 10 in.

V = Volume = 750 in.³

Plugging in the values of the variables in equation (1) gives;

H = V/(L × W) = 750 in.³/(15 in. × 10 in.) = 5 in.

The height of the box, H = 5 inches.
