Question

Summer Dave builds a crate to hold vegetables the volume of the crate is 48 ft.³ the base area of the crate is 16 ft.² what is the height of the crate

Answer 1

The height of crate is 3 feet

Solution:

Given that Summer Dave builds a crate to hold vegetables

Volume of crate = 48 cubic feet

Base area of crate = 16 square feet

To find: height of crate

The crate is of shape cuboid

The volume of cuboid is given as:

$volume = length \times width \times height$

We know that,

$Area\ of\ base = length \times width$

Therefore, volume becomes,

$volume = base\ area \times height$

Substituting the given values we get,

$48 = 16 \times h\\\\h = \frac{48}{16}\\\\h = 3$

Thus height of crate is 3 feet
