Question

Sam is designing an open wooden box in the shape of a rectangular prism. The base of the box will be 6 feet by 8 feet. He has not yet decided what the height will be.

Answer 1

10ft

Explanation:

Let assume the volume of the box be 480ft^3

Required

height h

Volume of the box = length * width * height

Substitute

480 = 8 * 6 * h

480 = 48 * h

h = 480/48

h = 10ft

Hence the height of the box if the volume of 480ft^3 is 10ft
