Answer 1

Answer:

6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

$V=lwh$ where l is the length, w is the width and h is the height of a rectangular prism

Plug in the volume (609), length (14.5) and width (7)

$609=(14.5)(7)h\\609=(101.5)h$

Divide both sides by 101.5 to isolate h

$\frac{609}{101.5} =\frac{101.5h}{101.5} \\6=h$

Therefore, the height of the shoebox is 6 inches.

I hope this helps!
