\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I have 6 x 3.5 = 21 So the top is 21 inches
\n" ); document.write( "105 - 21 = 84
\n" ); document.write( "84 (divided by) 3 = 28\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the height is 28 inches.\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ok the formula for the volume of a rectangle box is length times width times height. or
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28L%29%28W%29%28H%29=Volume\"
\n" ); document.write( "Ok so lets plug in the given information.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%286%29%283.5%29%28H%29=105\"
\n" ); document.write( "first multiply 6 times 3.5
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2821%29%28H%29=105\"
\n" ); document.write( "now divide both sides by 21
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2821H%29%2F21=105%2F21\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"H=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "and so H = 5 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To check the answer just use the formula \"%28L%29%28W%29%28H%29=Volume\"
\n" ); document.write( "and plug in all the values so
\n" ); document.write( "\"%286%29%283.5%29%285%29=105\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2821%29%285%29=105\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"105=105\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
