Question

An oblong box has a volume equal to lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. If the volume is 24 cubic feet, solve for the height in terms of the other sides.

Answer 1

Answer:

h=$\frac{24}{lw}$ feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the oblong box are given by (l×w×h), where l is the length, w is the width and h is the height of the box.

Now, the volume of a box with length l units, width w units, and height h units is given by,  

V=lwh cubic units.

Here the volume of the box is given as 24 cubic feet.

So, lwh= 24

⇒ h=$\frac{24}{lw}$ feet.

This is the expression for height h in terms of length l feet and width w feet.
