mitchell has a jewerly box that has a volume of 324 cubic inches.the jewerly box is 9 inches long and 6 inches wide. how high is the jewelry box in inches.
9x6=54
324/54=4 inches
That can't be right. 9*6*4 = 216
Redo your division problem.
To find the height of the jewelry box, you can start by calculating the area of the base. The jewelry box has a length of 9 inches and a width of 6 inches. So, multiplying these values, 9 x 6 = 54 square inches.
Next, you can use the volume formula for a rectangular box, which is length x width x height = volume. In this case, the volume is given as 324 cubic inches and the area of the base is 54 square inches. Now, rearrange the formula to solve for the height: height = volume / (length x width).
Substituting the values, height = 324 / 54 = 6 inches.
Therefore, the height of the jewelry box is 6 inches.
