The volume of a 10 ounce box of cheerios is 258.75in3. the length of the box is 4 inches less than the height and the width is 3 inches. determine the height of the box

Height of the box = 11.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the height of the box.

Assuming the volume of the Box is .

Given:

Length = Height - 4 = h - 4

Width = 3 in

We need to find the height of the box.

Solution:

We know that the volume of the box.

Substitute all given value in above formula.

Rewrite the equation as:

whole equation divided by 3.

Use quadratic formula with

Put these a, b and c value in above equation.

For positive sign

h = 11.5 in

For negative sign

h = -7.5

We take positive value of h.

Therefore, the height of the box h = 11.5 in
