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
20 cm²
