Complete question:
Emily convinced her mom to buy a giant box of her favorite cereal. Her mom doesn't think the box will fit on their shelf. The volume of the box is 10,000 cm^3 cubed. The base of the box is 25cm by 10cm.
How tall is the box of cereal?
Answer: 40cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
A box is normally in the shape of a cube
formula of volume of a cube;
We want to find the height(tallness)
Volume=LengthxWidthxHeight
Volume = 10,000cm^3
Base of box = 25cm by 10cm,
Base of box = Length × width
Therefore:
Length = 25cm, Width = 10cm
Volume = Lengh × Width × Height
10,000cm^3 = 25cm × 10cm × Height
10,000cm^3 = 250cm^2 × Height
Height = 10,000cm^3 ÷ 250cm^2
Height = 40cm
