Question 393273
Set up equation for problem and solve
The volume of a box with square base and a height of 12 inches is 768 in3.
 Find the length of one side of the base.
:
Let x = one side of the square base
then
x^2 * 12 = 768
x^2 = {{{768/12}}}
x^2 = 64
x = {{{sqrt(64)}}}
x = 8 in is the side of the base
:
:
Check this: 8 * 8 * 12 = 768
