Answer: the height of the box is 12 inches.

Explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular box is expressed as

Volume = LWH

Where

L represents the length of the rectangular box

W represents the width of the rectangular box

H represents the height of the rectangular box.

The base of the box is a piece of wood with an area of 90 square inches. This means that

LW = 90 square inches

If the volume of the box needs to have a volume of 1,080 cubic inches, it means that

90 × H = 1080

H = 1080/90

H = 12 inches

Answer:

The answer to your question is height = 12 in

Explanation:

Data

Area of the base = 90 in²

Volume of the box = 1080 in³

height = ?

Process

1.- Write and compare the formula of volume and the formula of area

Area of the base = base x width

Volume = base x width x height

2.- After observing the formula we decide to divide the volume by the area to find the height

Height = Volume/Area

Height = 1080/90

Height = 12 in
