A cereal box is a rectangular prism that is 8 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. the volume of the box is 200 inches cubed. what is the height of the box?

Respuesta :

V=L×W×HV=8×1 3/4×12 1/8V=169.75in3

Answer: 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The volume of a box = 200 cubic inches

The length of the box = 8 inches

The width of the box= [tex]2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}[/tex] inches

We know that the volume of rectangular prism is given by :-

[tex]\text{Volume}=length*width*height[/tex]

Let h be the height of the box.

Then, we have

[tex]200=8\times\frac{5}{2}\times h\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\frac{200}{4\times5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=10\ inches[/tex]

Hence, the height of the box = 10 inches.
