Set up equation for problem and solve
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of a box with square base and a height of 12 inches is 768 in3.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the length of one side of the base.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = one side of the square base
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 * 12 = 768
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = $\"768%2F12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 64
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"sqrt%2864%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8 in is the side of the base
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this: 8 * 8 * 12 = 768 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
