a box's height is 4 times its width, which is a sixth of its depth; the volume is 1536 cubic centimetres, what is its width?

Respuesta :

The width of the box with a volume of 1536 cubic centimetres is 8.32 cm.

Volume

Volume is the amount of space that an object occupies. The volume of a box is given by:

Volume = length * width* height

Let w represent the width of the box.

The box's height is 4 times its width, hence:

Height = 4w

The height is six time the depth, hence:

depth = (1/6)height = (1/6)(4w) = (2/3)w

1536 = w * 4w * (2/3)w

w = 8.32 cm

The width of the box with a volume of 1536 cubic centimetres is 8.32 cm.
