Answer 1

Answer: The widths of Kyle and Myla's boxes is the same as 2 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula : Volume of cuboidal box = length x width x height

$width=\dfrac{Volume}{length\times height}$

Given: Kyle has a storage box that is 2 ft. Long, 3 ft. High, and has a volume of 12 ft³ .

$width=\dfrac{12}{2\times3}=2\ ft.$

Myla has a storage box that is 4 ft. High, 2 ft. Long, and has a volume of 16 ft³.

$width=\dfrac{16}{4\times2}=2\ ft.$

Hence, the widths of Kyle and Myla's boxes is the same as 2 ft.
