You decide to use the larger suitcase to transport rectangular prism watermelons back home. Though their dimensions vary, the average rectangular watermelon has a volume of roughly 720 cubic inches. If one of these watermelons is about 10 inches long and 9 inches wide, about how tall would it be

Sagot :

So the formula for volume is V=(l)(w)(h)
They already gave you the volume so it’s just basic algebra.
730= 10x(9)
81= 10x
8.1=x

So x is equal to 8.1 but in the question it’s say about which indicates to round it so it should be 8 but I’m not 100% sure.
Volume = length * width * height

Let’s plug in some values and replace the missing values as x

720 = 10 * 9 * x
Multiply 10 times 9
720 = 90x
Divide 720 by 90
x = 8

It will be 8 inches tall
