Remember, the volume of a box is \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"V=L%2Aw%2Ah\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the top is 6 by 3.5 inches, we know the length is 6 inches and the width is 3.5 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"105=6%2A%283.5%29%2Ah\" Plug in L=6 and w=3.5, and the given volume V=105\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"105=21h\" Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5=h\" Divide both sides by 21\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the height is \"h=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
