The volume V of a steel container inside a flight data recorder is defined by the equation x=sqrt( v/7
where x is the sum of the length and the width of the container in inches and the height of the container is 7 inches.
Solve the equation for V, then use the result to find the volume of the container whose length and width total 4.7 inches.
x = sqrt%28v%2F7%29
square both sides
x^2 = v%2F7
v = 7x^2
:
x= 4.7
v = 7(4.7^2)
v = 154.63 cu/inches
