A box of business cards is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The volume of the box of cards is 360 cubic centimeters. The length of the box is 12 centimeters and the height of the box is 5 centimeters. What is the width of the box of business cards?

1.   an exact solution requires a radical solution - no decimal approximation.2. (a)4x^3 = 756x^3 = 756/4 = 189x =   cube root of 189 =   5.74   to nearest hundredth answer(b)   189 = 3*3*3*7   so we can write the cube root of 189 as 3∛7 answerchecking (a) 4*(5.74^3 =   756.48   which is very close(b)   4* ((3∛3)^3   = 4*189   = 756   - spot on! 3. i would use solution b because the original question asked for an exact solution.

Volume is length times width times height so
20 times 8 times 30 which is 4,800
surface area is ph (p is perimeter of base), h is height.
so perimeter would be length+length+width+width so 20+20+8+8 which is 56. so multiply 56 times 30 which is 1680. hope this !
