Question

A cereal box has a volume of 450 cubic cm. The length and width are 43 cm and 12 cm. HOW can you find the height.

Answer 1

The height, of 0.87 cm, is finding dividing the volume by the multiplication of the length and the width.

Explanation:

A cereal box is a rectangular prism.

A rectangular prism has 3 dimensions, length(l), width(w) and height(h).

It's volume is:

V = l*w*h

In this question:

`l = 43, w = 12, V = 450`

So

`V = l*w*h`

`450 = 43*12*h`

`h = (450)/(43*12)`

`h = 0.87`

The height, of 0.87 cm, is finding dividing the volume by the multiplication of the length and the width.
