Question

The volume of a gift box is 972 in. The height of the gift box is 12 inches

and the area of the base is 81 in. If the base shape is a square, what is the
length of each side of the square base? *

Answer 1

The length of each side of the 9 in

Explanation:

The volume of the gift box is 972 in. The height of the gift box is 12 inches

and the area of the base is 81 in².

We want to determine the length of each side of the square base if the base shape is a square.

Recall that, the area of a square is

`{l}^(2)`

It was given that, the area of this base is 81 in²

`{l}^(2) = 81`

Take positive square root:

`l = √(81) = 9in`
