Answer:

Height of the cereal box = 18 in.

Explanation:

A cereal box is in the shape of a cuboid.

And volume of a cuboid is represented by the expression,

Volume = Length × Width × Height

It's given that volume of the box = 432 in³

Length of the base = 2 in.

Width of the base = 12 in

By substituting these values in the expression,

432 = 2 × 12 × h

h =
(432)/(24)

h = 18 in.

Therefore, height of the cereal box is 18 in.
