The formula for the volume of a box is height*length*width

In the specific question, we are given the volume and the height,

and we are looking for the area of the base,

As you will remember, the area is length * width

If we replace all the data in the formula, we see that:

4 * the area of the base = 80

Therefore, if we divide by 4 we see that

Area of the base = 20

Exercise #2

Look at the cuboid in the figure:

XXX555333

The volume of the cuboid is equal to 90.

What is the value of X?

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the value of X X , we begin by using the formula for the volume of a cuboid, which is given by V=height×depth×width V = \text{height} \times \text{depth} \times \text{width} .

In this problem, the volume V V is 90 cubic units, the height is 5 units, and the depth is 3 units. We need to find the width X X . So, we write the equation:

90=5×3×X 90 = 5 \times 3 \times X

Simplify the equation:

90=15×X 90 = 15 \times X

To solve for X X , divide both sides of the equation by 15:

X=9015 X = \frac{90}{15}

Calculating the right-hand side, we find:

X=6 X = 6

Thus, the width of the cuboid, X X , is 6 units.

The correct answer to the multiple-choice question is choice 4: 6.

101010888

Its height is 10 cm and its length is 8 cm.

What is its width?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the width of the rectangular prism, we'll start by using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

V=length×width×height V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}

We are given that the volume V=880cm3 V = 880 \, \text{cm}^3 , the length length=8cm \text{length} = 8 \, \text{cm} , and the height height=10cm \text{height} = 10 \, \text{cm} . We need to find the width, which we'll denote as w w .

Substitute the known values into the formula:

880=8×w×10 880 = 8 \times w \times 10

Simplify the equation:

880=80×w 880 = 80 \times w

To solve for w w , divide both sides of the equation by 80:

w=88080 w = \frac{880}{80}

Simplify the fraction:

w=11 w = 11

Therefore, the width of the rectangular prism is 11 cm\textbf{11 cm}.

Find the length of the height

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of finding the height of the cuboid, we will follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the area of the square base of the cuboid.
  • Step 2: Use the volume formula to set up an equation and solve for the height.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Calculate the square base area.
The side length of the square base is s=10 s = 10 cm. Thus, the area of the base is given by:

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the missing width (X X ) of the rectangular prism, we start with the volume formula for a rectangular prism:

V=l×w×h V = l \times w \times h

Here, l=3cm l = 3 \, \text{cm} , h=5cm h = 5 \, \text{cm} , and V=90cm3 V = 90 \, \text{cm}^3 . We need to find w w (or X X ).

aaa

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find the side length of the cube given that its volume is 1331 cubic units.

We use the formula for the volume of a cube:
V=a3 V = a^3

Here, the volume V V is 1331, so substituting into the formula gives:
1331=a3 1331 = a^3

To find a a , take the cube root of both sides:
a=13313 a = \sqrt[3]{1331}

Calculating the cube root, we find:
a=11 a = 11

Thus, the side length of the cube is 11\mathbf{11}. This corresponds to choice 3 from the options provided.
