Question

A 16,000 cubic inch refrigerator has a square base. The refrigerator is 40 inches tall. Determine the area of the base of the refrigerator.

Answer 1

Answer:

400 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A square has equal sides, s     and the area = s * s

volume of refrigerator =  s *s  * h

                                     = s^2 * 40   = 16000

                                         s^2 = 400

                                           s = 20 inches     so area = 20 * 20 = 400 in^2
