Chapter 0.9, Problem 14E

To determine

The height of the pan.

Answer to Problem 14E

The height of the pan is 2in.

Explanation of Solution

Given :

l = 9 in

w = 13 in

V = 234 cubic in

Calculation: Volume of pan:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{V= lwh}\\ \text{here,}\\ \text{V=}\text{}\text{}\text{}\text{volume}\\ \text{l =}\text{length}\\ \text{h}\text{=}\text{height}\\ \text{w =}\text{width}\end{array}$

So,

Volume:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{234 =}\text{9×13×h}\\ \text{h =}\frac{{\text{234in}}^{\text{3}}}{{\text{117in}}^{\text{2}}}\\ \text{h = 2in}\end{array}$

Therefore, the height of pan is 2in.
