Algebra.Com's Answer #502220 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The volume of a rectangular box 8cm high is 120cm3. If the perimeter of the base is 20cm, find the dimensions of the box. to two decimal places. \n" ); document.write( "I know volume is l x w x h which in this case = 120cm3 and if I divide what I know which is h into answer 120/8 = 15 \n" ); document.write( "Then I am left with l x w = 15cm^2 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "So Length could be 3cm, then width would be 5cm. \n" ); document.write( "====== \n" ); document.write( "All you know is that length * width = 15 cm^2. \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "Without further information about length or width, \n" ); document.write( "you can go no further. \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
