Solution Steps

00:00 Find X
00:04 We'll use the formula for calculating box volume
00:07 height times length times width
00:12 We'll substitute appropriate values and solve for X
00:26 We don't have enough data to know, therefore there's no solution
00:38 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

Given the problem of determining the value of X X with only partial data, it is crucial to understand that the volume of a cuboid is determined by multiplying its three dimensions. Here, we have a volume of 75 cm³ and one dimension given as 4 cm. However, without information about the other dimension(s), determining X X is speculative.

  • Recognizing that the volume V=l×w×h V = l \times w \times h and only having one dimension given (which may be part of 4 4 ), it is not possible to isolate or solve for the other unknowns only keeping X X as unknown.
  • The figure does not provide complete information about the dimensions that would be used along with the volume to solve for any missing side or dimension directly.

Therefore, as a solution, it must be concluded that without additional information, we cannot solve for X X definitively.

The correct answer to the problem is: Impossible to know.
