Problema Solution
A cabinet 30 inches high must have a 4 inch thick base and a 1 1/2-inch thick top. Four equal-sized drawers must fit in the remaining space, with 3/4 inch between drawers. What is the height of each drawer?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the height of a drawer. 4 drawers will require 3 spacers of 3/4 inch between drawers.
30=4+1.5+3*(3/4)+4x
x=89/16=5.5625
So approximately 5.56 inches would be required for the height of each drawer.
