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
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
