Question

Suppose you need to build a box with a surface area of 2338 square feet.The length of the box is 34 feet and the height will be 16 feet.What is the width of the box?

Answer 1

13 ft

Explanation:

SA = 2lw+2lh+2hw

2338 = 2(34w) + 2(34*16) + 2(16w)

2338 = 64w + 1088 + 32w

2338 = 96w + 1088

96w = 2338 - 1088

96w = 1250

w = 13 ft
