Question 1181832


the volume of a rectangular box is

{{{V=a*b*h}}}

(a) find three possible whole number sets of dimensions that give the correct volume

{{{200=2^3*5^2}}} ({{{5}}} prime factors, {{{2 }}}distinct)

choose three:

{{{a=5cm}}}
{{{b=5cm}}}
{{{h=8cm}}}

{{{V=5cm*5cm*8cm}}}
{{{V=200cm^3}}}

(b) Find three sets of dimensions with at least one non-whole number that give the correct volume.

write {{{2^3}}} as {{{(8/5)*5=1.6*5}}}

{{{a=1.6cm}}}
{{{b=5cm}}}
{{{h=25cm}}}
{{{V=1.6cm*5cm*25cm}}}
{{{V=200cm^3}}}
