A lunch box has a volume of 221 inches 3. The height is 4 in. And the width is 6 1/2 in. What is the length
V = lwh
221^3 = 3 * 6.5 * L
221^3/ 19.5 = l
12/221
To find the length of the lunch box, we can use the formula for volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = length * width * height
We are given the volume as 221 inches^3, the height as 4 inches, and the width as 6 1/2 inches.
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
221 in^3 = length * 6 1/2 in * 4 in
To solve for length, we can divide both sides of the equation by (6 1/2 in * 4 in):
221 in^3 / (6 1/2 in * 4 in) = length
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
221 in^3 / (26/2 in) = length
221 in^3 / (13 in) = length
Calculating the value:
length ≈ 17 inches
Therefore, the length of the lunch box is approximately 17 inches.
V=lwh
221=(L)(6.5)(4)
You are solving for the Length so simplify the right hand side first
221 =26L then divide both sides by 26 to find the answer to the length
(221/26) = L
