Abox is the shape of a right rectangular prism. the box has a square base that is 6 inches wide. the box has a volume of 864 cubic inches. what is the length of one of the lateral edges?

a) 12 inches
b) 24 inches
c) 36 inches
d) 72 inches

The answer is 24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The boxes base is 6 by 6.

Divide 864 by 6 and then by 6 again

24 inches

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

d. all of the above
