Question

Rachel has a box in the shape of a

rectangular prism. The length of the box is
3 feet, the width is 1.5 feet, and the height
is 1 foot. What is the volume of the box
measured in cubic inches?
919

Answer 1

volume of square based prism = a²h

therefore

150 in³ = x²y

y = 1.5x

150 = 1.5x³

100 = x³

x = ³√100 ≈ 4.64 in

y = 1.5x ≈ 6.96 in
