Question

Super Storage takes storage cubes to customers, the customers fill them, and then super storage takes the cubes to their storage warehouse. The volume for one storage cube is 1,041 1/4 cubic feet. If the cubes length is 12 1/4 feet and the width is 8 1/2 feet, how tall is 1 cube.

Answer 1

Answer:

The height is 10ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$V = 1041\frac{1}{4}ft^3$ --- Volume

$L = 12\frac{1}{4}ft$ --- Length

$W = 8\frac{1}{2}ft$ --- Width

Required

The height (H)

The volume is calculated using:

$V = LWH$

Make H the subject

$H = \frac{V}{LW}$

Substitute values for V, L and W

$H = \frac{1041\frac{1}{4}}{12\frac{1}{4}*8\frac{1}{2}}$

Express as decimals

$H = \frac{1041.25}{12.25*8.5}$

$H = \frac{1041.25}{104.125}$

$H = 10$

The height is 10ft
