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.
