Acompany needs boxes to hold a stack of 8.5 inch by 11 inch papers. if they would like the volume of the box to be 500 cubic inches, what should the height of the box be? round to the nearest tenth.

Given =

boxes to hold a stack of 8.5 inch by 11 inch papers.

volume of the box to be 500 cubic inches

Find out the height of the boxes

To proof =

Formula

box shape is in the rectangle form.

volume of the rectangle = length× breadth× height

now putting the values in the above equation

we get

500  = 8.5 × 11× height

500 = 93.5 ×height

= height

5.34759358 = height

5.35 (approx ) inches = height

the height of the rectangular box is 5.35 (approx) inches.

Hence proved
