Given that the volume of a box is 157500 cm^3 and base area is 45 * 50 cm^2
We know that volume formula of a box is +V+=+base+area%2A+height+
Let the height of the box be h cm.
So, 157500 =45*50*h
157500 = 2250*h
or +h+=+157500%2F2250+

h = 70 cm
Hence the height of the box is 70 cm.
Hope that helps~!
