can some one help me?

OpenStudy (january123):

Waylan has two cardboard boxes that are rectangular prisms. Each cardboard box has the same height, h, but the square bases of each cardboard box have different side measurements, w. He wants to find the amount of space, S, inside each box. Considering that each box has a square base, he decides to use the formula below for his calculation. The square base on Box A has a side measurement of 2 feet, and the square base on Box B has a side measurement of 0.75 of a foot. Each box has a height of 4 feet. Box A contains______cubic feet of space, and Box B contains_____ cubic feet of space. Box A contains_____ cubic feet more space than Box B.

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

U got the eqn for Space, S = w^2 * h and the question tells u what the height is for both boxes which gives u "h" so u can calculate by putting in the values of different base dimensions for "w"

OpenStudy (january123):

wait...what?

OpenStudy (january123):

what's "eqn'

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

oh sorry eqn = equation. u are given S = w^2 * h

OpenStudy (january123):

Okay

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

So what space u have calculated for Box A?

OpenStudy (january123):

one sec...

OpenStudy (january123):

2*4=8

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

nope S=w^2 * h u are missing something there

OpenStudy (january123):

the h is 4 the side is 2 the base is...

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

the base area is w^2 so....

OpenStudy (january123):

nvm thx anyway's :)

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

are u set? what space u found for Box A?
