Question

A rectangular container is 20cm long and 25cmwide. If the volume is 5000 cubic centimeters whenfull, what is the height of the container?Show your work.

Answer 1

Given:

$\text{length(l)}=20\operatorname{cm};wide(w)=25cm;Volume=5000cm^3$

To find : height (h)

$\text{Volume of a retangular }container=l\times w\times h\text{ cubic units}$$5000=20\times25\times h$$\frac{5000}{20\times25}=h$$h=\frac{5000}{500}$$h=10$

Therefore, the height of the container is 10 cm
