a cubical box with the dimensions 2 x 3 x 4 is melted into another cube whose width is 12. Find the length and height of the cube formed if l=w.

@nelsonjedi could you help on this?

anonymous · Answer

What is the volume of the first box?

anonymous · Answer

2 x 3 x 4 = 24
so the equation is 12 x l x h = 24
but the length is equal to the width so it's 12 x 12 x h = 24
so do i have to divide 24 by 144 (12 x 12)??

anonymous · Answer

that would equal 0.16666666 etc.

anonymous · Answer

Are you sure you wrote the equation correct> for the second cube?   "ith the dimensions 2 x 3 x 4 is melted into another cube whose width is 12. Find the length and height of the cube formed if l=w."

anonymous · Answer

yeah. i typed it straight off the worksheet.

anonymous · Answer

l=h

anonymous · Answer

0.166666666 etc works in the equation tho so would the height be that and the lEngth be 12?

anonymous · Answer

nope, it says l=w

anonymous · Answer

You did to correct..good job!!!!!

yay! thank you! :)
