Question

anonymous · Answer

What is the formula for the volume of a rectangle?

anonymous · Answer

One thing that I should point out is that 3 cubic feet=
$$1ft^{3}*\frac{12in}{1ft}\frac{12in}{1ft}\frac{12in}{1ft}=1728in$$

anonymous · Answer

Do you know what to do?

anonymous · Answer

i know i have to find the height bt how do i find the height

anonymous · Answer

You remember the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, right?

anonymous · Answer

length$*$width$*$height?

anonymous · Answer

yes bt can you answer the question that i put

anonymous · Answer

Yes, but I'm not just going to tell you the answer.

anonymous · Answer

What you need to do is realize that length*width*height=volume.  So in this case, 24*18*something=1728.  What does "something" have to be?

anonymous · Answer

4

anonymous · Answer

Right!

anonymous · Answer

why does it have to equal 1728

anonymous · Answer

Sorry, not 1728, 5184. 1 cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches, so 3 cubic feet is 5184 cubic inches.

anonymous · Answer

so then what do i have to do now

anonymous · Answer

Just replace 1728 by 5184 and figure out what you need instead of 4.

anonymous · Answer

12

anonymous · Answer

Yup.

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is 12
