Question

Summer Dave builds a crate to hold vegetables the volume of the crate is 48 ft.³ the base area of the crate is 16 ft.² what is the height of the crate

Answer 1

The height of crate is 3 feet

Solution:

Given that Summer Dave builds a crate to hold vegetables

Volume of crate = 48 cubic feet

Base area of crate = 16 square feet

To find: height of crate

The crate is of shape cuboid

The volume of cuboid is given as:

`volume = length * width * height`

We know that,

`Area\ of\ base = length * width`

Therefore, volume becomes,

`volume = base\ area * height`

Substituting the given values we get,

`48 = 16 * h\\\\h = (48)/(16)\\\\h = 3`

Thus height of crate is 3 feet
