A packing box with a height of 15 inches needs to contain more than 2520 how would you model this situation with an inequality to show the possible ara b of the base of the box

1 answer

Let's denote the length and width of the base of the box as L and W, respectively.

The volume of the box is determined by the formula V = L * W * H, where H is the height of the box.

Since we want the box to contain more than 2520 in volume, we can write the inequality:

V > 2520

Substitute in the values of the given dimensions:

L * W * 15 > 2520

Simplify the inequality:

15LW > 2520

Now, we have the modeled inequality for the possible area of the base of the box:

Area of the base (LW) > 168
