Answer:

L =.67 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length we can use the volume of a rectangle equation:


Volume = length*width*height

Given:

V = 1.0 ft

W = 1.5 ft

H = 1.5 ft

Find:

Length

We can rearrange the equation above to look like this:


(V)/(WH) = L

Then plug in the numbers


(1.0ft)/((1.0ft)(1.5ft)) = L

Solve


L = .67ft

Answer:

Volume of a rectangular box= length × width × height

Volume = 1.0 ft

height = 1.5ft

width = 1.0ft

length = ?

1= 1×1.5 × l

l= 1/1.5

l = 0.667ft

length = 0.667ft

Hope this helps
