Question

Geoffrey wants to grow some tomatoes in four large planters. He wants each planter to have a volume of 320 cubic feet, but he wants them all to be different. Show four different ways Geoffrey can make these planters, and draw diagrams with the planters’ measurements on them.

Answer 1

Answer:

PLANTER 1:  3.2 feet height, 10 feet long,  10 feet width.

PLANTER 2:  4 feet height, 10 feet  long,  8 feet width

PLANTER 3:  2 feet height, 16 feet  long,  10 feet width.

PLANTER 4:   8 feet height, 4 feet  long,  10 feet width.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume=320 cubic feet

Volume= height*long*width

PLANTER 1:

3.2 feet height,  10 feet long,  10 feet width.

$Volume=3.2*10*10$

$volume=320$

PLANTER 2

4 feet height, 10 feet  long,  8 feet width

$Volume=4*10*8$

$volume=320$

PLANTER 3

2 feet height, 16 feet  long,  10 feet width.

$Volume=2*16*10$

$volume=320$

PLANTER 4

8 feet height, 4 feet  long,  10 feet width.

$Volume=8*4*10$

$volume=320$
