Hi,

The volume of a rectangular box is limited to 1100 in^3

 height is 8 inches and the width is 10 inches 

how long can the box be?

Let x reprsent that length

V(rectangular box) = l*w*h

Question states***

 x*10in*8in = 1100in^3

   x = 1100in^3/80in^2

   x = 13.75in, the length



CHECKING our Answer*** 

 13.75in*10in*8in = 1100in^3
