Answer 1

Answer:

The length of each side of the 9 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the gift box is 972 in. The height of the gift box is 12 inches

and the area of the base is 81 in².

We want to determine the length of each side of the square base if the base shape is a square.

Recall that, the area of a square is

${l}^{2}$

It was given that, the area of this base is 81 in²

${l}^{2} = 81$

Take positive square root:

$l = \sqrt{81} = 9in$
