Question

the length of the cereal box is unknown and the part i need to figure out height of the box is 12 and width is 2 keep in mind were using cubic inches and the total cubic inches is 204

Answer 1

The volume is length x height x width.

You have the height (12 inches) and the width (2 inches) and the volume (204 cubic inches). Put those into the formula for volume and rearrange to solve for length.

V = L x H x W

204 in³ = L x 12 in x 2 in

204 in³ = L x / 24 in²

204 in³ / 24 in² = L

8.5 in = L

Hope this helps

Answer 2

V = L * W * H

You have 3 of the 4 factors:

204 = L * 2 * 12

You should now be able easily to get L>
