Answer by ptaylor(2198) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Volume(V) of box equals Length(L) times Width(W) times Height(H) or
V=LWH
Area(A) of the bottom of the box equals Length(L) times Width(W)or
A=LW
so
V=AH=
Note that So now we have
Now one of these terms represents the Length; one represents the Width and one represents the Height. Since we are not told, you can take your pick. I choose:
