Suppose you need to build a box with a surface area of 90 square feet. If the length is 5 feet and the height is 2 feet, what is the width of the box?

Hi there!

Your answer is:

W=17.5feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the surface area form for a cuboid:

2h(l+w)=SA

Fill in the known values!

2(2)* (5+ W) = 90

Solve for W!

4*(5+W)=90

20+4w=90

-20

4w=70

/4

W=17.5feet

if you was gonna solve for a, a is a   < -12

his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing. the garden is a right triangle with base 25m and height 30m. are you trying to solve for the last side/hypotenuse? the irrational form of the answer would be 5\sqrt{61}
