jim has a box in the shape of a rectangular prism. The area of the base of the box is 48 square inches. The volume of the box is 144 cubic inches. Let h = the height of Jim's box. Write and solve an equation you can use to find the height of Jim's box.
hi my name is Luna Garcia and i think that Ms. sue is correct.
A box is in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The base of the box has an area of 15 square inches. The height of the box is 12 inches. What is the volume, in cubic inches, of the box?
To find the height of Jim's box, let's call it "h".
We know that the area of the base of the box is 48 square inches, and the volume of the box is 144 cubic inches.
The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is given by multiplying the length, width, and height. So, in this case, the volume can be expressed as:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Given that the volume is 144 cubic inches, we can write the equation:
144 = 48 × h
To solve for h, divide both sides of the equation by 48:
144 ÷ 48 = h
Then simplify:
3 = h
Therefore, the height of Jim's box is 3 inches.
V = lwh
144 = 48h
3 = h
