Suppose sarah is trying to design a metal box (a rectangular prism), which will hold 200 cubic centimeters of liquid. the length of the box must be 4 times as large as the width.
volume = length * width * height = lwh (measured in cubic units) so 2000 cm^3 = lwh we know that l = 4w so sub that into the equation 2000 = (4w)*w*h 2000 = 4w^2*h
You didn't include the rest of the question so this is as far as i can go.
