Height of what?
If we assume a rectangular box, volume with respect to height:
.
H=height; L=length=H-2m; W=width=(1/3)height; V=Volume
.
V=H+x+L+x+W Substitute for L and W.
V=H+x+%28H-2m%29+x+%28H%2F3%29
V=H%5E2-2H+x+%28H%2F3%29
V=%28H%5E3-2H%5E2%29%2F3
.
We can find volume with respect to any one of the linear dimensions,
but we can not get an actual number (insufficient information.)
