Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cuboid is expressed as

Terrance has to build a metal box that he can store costumes in for his theater program. The volume of the box to be built is 36 cubic-feet. The length or base of the cuboid is 6 feet. The width of the cuboid is 2 feet. Therefore, the height of the cuboid, h will be

36 = 6×2×h

12h =36

h = 36/12 = 3 feet
