Jim has a box in the shape of a rectangular prism. The area of the base of the box is 48 square inches. The volume of the box is 144 cubic inches. let h= the height of Jim's box. Write and solve an equation you can use to find the height of Jim's box.

Answer 1

Volume = v, height = h, area of the base= B
v=h•b
144=h•48
h=144/48
h=3 inches
