Given =
boxes to hold a stack of 8.5 inch by 11 inch papers.
volume of the box to be 500 cubic inches
Find out the height of the boxes
To proof =
Formula
box shape is in the rectangle form.
volume of the rectangle = length× breadth× height
now putting the values in the above equation
we get
500 = 8.5 × 11× height
500 = 93.5 ×height
[tex]\frac{500}{93.5}[/tex] = height
5.34759358 = height
5.35 (approx ) inches = height
the height of the rectangular box is 5.35 (approx) inches.
Hence proved
