Answer:

2 cm

Explanation:

Given that

The length is 13 cm longer than its width

And, the volume of the box is 60cm^3

We need to find out the dimension of the box

Since the box has square ends

So,

the height is equivalent to the width

Let us assume the width be W so the height also be W

Now the length is W + 13

The volume is

W × W × (W + 13) = 60

After solving this W is 2 cm
