SUMMARY

To determine the length of a rectangular box that holds 1,800 cubic centimeters with a width of 12 centimeters and a height of 6 centimeters, the volume formula V = lwh is utilized. By rearranging the formula to solve for length (l), the calculation reveals that the length must be 25 centimeters. This conclusion is confirmed through community discussion, emphasizing the importance of understanding volume calculations in geometry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the volume formula V = lwh
  • Basic knowledge of geometry concepts
  • Ability to manipulate algebraic equations
  • Familiarity with cubic centimeters as a unit of measurement
NEXT STEPS
  • Practice solving volume problems with different dimensions
  • Explore applications of the volume formula in real-world scenarios
  • Learn about other geometric shapes and their volume calculations
  • Study algebraic manipulation techniques for solving equations
USEFUL FOR

Students studying algebra and geometry, educators teaching volume calculations, and anyone seeking to improve their problem-solving skills in mathematics.

Hi Superman89,

Welcome to physicsforums. :smile:

Do you know how to find the volume of a box, given its width, length, and height?

After I posted this thread I read my problem a little more and decided that i needed to use the "V=lwh" formula. And when I checked to see if I had any replies, your post prove me right. Thank you VERY MUCH!
