Question

lucy wants to put a cube-shaped storage box on a shelf that is 18 inches tall . The side of the box is 250 square inches . will the box fit on the shelf ?

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If the side of the cubic box is:

$l^{2}=250 in^{2}$

The length of each edge of this cube is:

$l=\sqrt{250 in^{2}}$

$l=15.8 in$

So, if the shelf that is 18 inches tall and $l=15.8 inches$ the box wil fit on the shelf.
