The length of a rectangular box is twice its height, and its height is twice its width. If the volume of the box is 1,000 cubic inches, what is the height of the box, in inches?

Width=5 inches

 

Volume= Height* Width* Length

Rewrite the given information in terms of width.

Length= 2* Height= 2*2Width

Height= 2* Width

1000= (2)(Width)(4)

103= 8W3  (take the cube root of both sides)

W=5
