Once of the first electronic computers was in the shape of a huge box.it was 96 feet long and 2.5 feet wide.the amount of space inside was approximately 3,000 cubic feet.How many feet high was the computer

Respuesta :

The volume of a rectangular prism=l x w x h

Using the info we have, we can set up a formula to find the height.

3000 [tex]ft^{3} [/tex]=96x2.5xh
3000 [tex]ft^{3} [/tex]=240h
-----------   ------
240           240
12.5 ft=h

The computer was 12.5 ft high

Check:
96x2.5x12.5
=3000 [tex]ft^{3} [/tex]
