Arecycling bin is in the shape of a rectangular box find the height of the box if it's length is 18 ft its width is 8 feet and its surface area is 496 ft squared.

Solution:

we are given that

A recycling bin is in the shape of a rectangular box . Its length is 18 ft, its width is 8 feet and its surface area is 496 ft squared.

we have been asked to find the height of the box ?

As we know that the surface area of the rectangular prism is given by the formula

where l=length, w=width, h=height

Now substitute the given values we get

Hence the required height is 77/13.

only 10/60 isn't equivalent

hope this : )
