A shipping company is creating their own shipping boxes. They have created a box with a volume of 800in^3, a helght of 8 inches and a base perimeter of 40 inches.
The machine malfunctioned, and in order to be fixed the correct dimensions of the box needed to be input. What length and width would a worker need to input in
order to fix the machine?

Length:?
inches width:?

Length=10 Inches

Width=10 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box

Height=8 Inches

Base Perimeter =40 Inches

Volume of a box=lbh

SInce h=8 in, V=800.

Then:

8bl=800

bl=100

Base Perimeter=40 Inches

Perimeter of the Base= 2(l+b)

Therefore: 2(l+b)=40

Substituting

Recall:

Therefore:

Length=10 Inches

Width=10 Inches

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
