Answer:

Few of the following CASES can be the solutions:

1. (7 cm , 3 cm, 10 cm) 2.(14 cm , 3 cm, 5 cm)

3.(35 cm , 3 cm, 2 cm) 4.(7 cm , 6 cm, 5 cm)

5.(7 cm , 15 cm, 2 cm)

Explanation:

Here, the volume of the box of granola bars = 210 cubic cm.

Let us assume the length of the box = l

The width of the box = w

and The height of the box = h

Also, the box is in shape of a cuboid.

VOLUME OF A CUBOID = Length x Width x Height

⇒l x b x h = 210 .... (1)

Now, we need to find such combinations of (l,b,h) such that their product is 210 cubic centimeters.

There are many number of possible such combinations.

Few of the following CASES can be the solutions:

1. (7 cm , 3 cm, 10 cm)

2.(14 cm , 3 cm, 5 cm)

3.(35 cm , 3 cm, 2 cm)

4.(7 cm , 6 cm, 5 cm)

5.(7 cm , 15 cm, 2 cm)

There can be any other possible such solution as well.
