a fruit crate has swuare rends and is twice as long as it is wide. if the box has a volume of 8192 in^3,what is the value of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't you have to know height in order to calculate this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, the ends are square....as in height is equal to width.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A better question is...what's x supposed to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its set up as a 3d rectangle. x tall. x wide. 2x long

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea I was thinking of square angles...LoL.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then the volume is (x)(x)(2x)...2x^3=8192, x^3=4096, so x=16.
