Question

Mr.Baker is making a box using all of a 48-inch strip of oak. the box will be 14 inches wide. how long will the box be?

Answer 1

The length of the box made by Mr. Baker is 10-inch

Mr. Baker has strip of 48- inch long  oak, by this strip he is making the rectangle box of width 14-inch.

What is a rectangle?

The rectangle is 4 sided geometric shapes whose opposites are equal in lengths and all angles are about 90°.

As Mr. Baker has a strip that is 48-inch long and he made a rectangle box with it.

The width of the  box = 14 inches
now the length of the box = (total length of the strip - 2* width of the box)/2
⇒ length of the box = (48 - 2*14)/2
⇒ length of the box = 10 inches

Thus the Mr. Baker made the box which is 10 inches long.
