Finding the Missing Side

100

How do you find the height if the volume, length, and width are given to you.

Divide the volume by the product of length x width OR multiply length x width and then guess-multiply for the height until you get the volume

200

Volume = 4 cubic inches, length = 2 inches, width = 2 inches, height = ?

Height = 1 inch

300

Volume = 12 cubic feet, width = 2 feet, height = 2 feet, length = ?

length = 3 feet

400

Volume = 56 cubic feet, length = 7 feet, width = 2 feet, height = ?

height = 4 feet
