A box of fixed volume, v, has a square base with side length,
b. write a formula for the height, h, of the box as a function of
b. note: v will also be in your answer and this is an upper case v.

Respuesta :

[tex]\\ \text{Given a box with fixed volume V.}\\ \text{and the base of the box is  a square of side length b.}\\ \\ \text{we need to find the formula for the height, h, of the box as a function of b.}\\ \\ \text{We know that the volume of the box is given by}\\ \\ V=\text{Length }\times \text{ Width}\times \text{ Height}\\ \\ \text{Here since the base is square, so Length = Width = b}\\ \\ \text{so we have}\\ \\ V=b\times b\times h\\ \\ \Rightarrow V=b^2h\\ \\ \Rightarrow h=\frac{V}{b^2}[/tex]

Hence the formula for the height, h is :  h=[tex]\frac{V}{b^{2} }[/tex]

Formula for height of the given box as a function of b is;

h = V/b²

We are dealing with a box here and so it will have length, width and height.

Length = l

breadth = b

Height = h

Since the base of the box is a square, it means that the length is equal to the width.

Now, formula for volume of a cube is;

V = lbh

Since l = b and we want to express h in terms of V and b, then we have;

V = b × b × h

V = b²h

h = V/b²
