Problema Solution
The volume of a rectangle is 70 square feet. The height is 5 feet. The width is 2 less than the height. What is the length?
Answer provided by our tutors
We assume that the volume of a right rectangular prism 70 cubic feet:
V = 70 ft^3
H = 5 ft
W = H - 2
W = 5 - 2
W = 3 ft
L = the length
Since V = LWH we have:
L*3*5 = 70
L = 70/15
L = 4.67 ft
The length is 4.67 feet.
