Kyle has a storage box that is 2 ft. long, 3 ft. high, and has a volume of 12 ft.3 . Myla has a storage box that is 4 ft. high, 2 ft. long, and has a volume of 16 ft.3 . What are the widths of Kyle and Myla's boxes?

Answer 1

To find the width of Kyle's box, we can use the formula for volume of a rectangular prism:

Volume = length × width × height

12 = 2 × width × 3
12 = 6 × width
width = 2 ft

Therefore, the width of Kyle's box is 2 ft.

To find the width of Myla's box, we can use the same formula:

16 = 2 × width × 4
16 = 8 × width
width = 2 ft

Therefore, the width of Myla's box is also 2 ft.
