Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a volume problem as indicated by the exponent on the unit feet. Cubed is a volume thing, whereas squared is an area thing, etc.
The volume for a box-shaped microwave is
V = l x w x h and we are given the length and the width, but those are in inches and they need to be in feet. That's the tricky part here...catching the inconsistency in the units!
18 inches = 1.5 ft and
14 inches = 7/6 feet
Filling in:
1.75 = 1.5 x 7/6 x h and
1.75 = 1.75h so
h = 1 foot
