Math Problem Statement
solve and outline the answer
The cuboid below has a height of 23 mm and a width of 7 mm. It has a volume of 2415 mm³. What is the length of the cuboid?
Solution
To find the length of the cuboid, we use the volume formula for a cuboid:
Given:
- Volume = 2415 mm³
- Height = 23 mm
- Width = 7 mm
- Length = ? (denoted as )
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Substitute the known values into the formula:
