Question

A shipping carton in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 90 cubic inches. The base area of the shipping carton is 10 square inches. What is the height of the shipping carton?

Answer 1

The height of the shipping carton is

9in

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes. Rectangular prism.

Given data

Volume of prism = 90in³

Area of base = 10in²

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

V= l*w*h

Where l= length

w= width

h= height

But our given area = l*w=10in²

Substituting our given data we have

V= A*h

90=10*h

h=90/10

h= 9 in
