Question

Geoffrey wants to make one planter that extends from the ground to just below his back window. The window starts 3 feet off the ground. If he wants the planter to hold 36 cubic feet of soil, name one way he could build the planter so it is not taller than 3 feet. Explain how you know.

Answer 1

Explanation:

36 / 3 = 12

12 = 4 x 3

V = L x W x H

= 4ft x 3ft x 3ft

=

Since Geoffrey wants to build a planter with a height of 3ft & a volume of 36ft^(3), the base of the planter should have an area of 12ft^(2).
