The volume of the box-shaped a cuboid is

[tex]V=l\times w\times h[/tex]

l is the length

w is the width

h is the height

From the given figure

The volume of the box is 93 1/2 ft^3

V = 93 1/2

The width is 2 ft

w = 2

The height is 5 1/2 ft

h = 5 1/2

Substitute them in the rule above

[tex]\begin{gathered} 93\frac{1}{2}=l\times2\times5\frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{93\times2+1}{2}=l\times2\times\frac{5\times2+1}{2} \\ \frac{187}{2}=l\times2\times\frac{11}{2} \\ \frac{187}{2}=l\times11 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2 to remove the denominator

[tex]187=22l[/tex]

Divide both sides by 22 to find l

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{187}{22}=\frac{22l}{22} \\ 8\frac{1}{2}=l \end{gathered}[/tex]

The length of the box is 8 1/2 ft

The answer is B
