Given:
Volume of cuboid container = 2 litres
The container has a square base.
Its height is double the length of each edge on its base.
To find:
The height of the container.
Solution:
We know that,
1 litre = 1000 cubic cm
2 litre = 2000 cubic cm
Let x be the length of each edge on its base. Then the height of the container is:

The volume of a cuboid is:

Where, l is length, w is width and h is height.
Putting
, we get


Divide both sides by 2.

Taking cube root on both sides.
![\sqrt[3]{1000}=x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B1000%7D%3Dx)

Now, the height of the container is:



Therefore, the height of the container is 20 cm.
