A pillbox with a height of 12 inch needs to have a volume greater than 2 in.3 . What is the solution of an inequality describing the possible area of the base, b ?(1 point)

1 answer

The volume of a rectangular prism (pillbox) is given by the formula V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Since the height is 12 inches and the volume needs to be greater than 2 in^3, we can set up the inequality:

V = lwh > 2
12bw > 2
bw > 2/12
bw > 1/6

Therefore, the inequality describing the possible area of the base, b, is b > 1/6.
