A box in the shape of a rectangular prism is used in a movie scene. The base of the box measures 6 feet by 5 feet. The box has a volume of 195 cubic feet. The director hires an actor who is 6 feet 4 inches tall. Can the actor stand up straight in the box? Also I do need to show my work so please write down the work to solve this. Thanks!
Volume of rectangular prism is: V = lwh Plugging in the numbers you gave: 195 = (6)(5)h 195 = 30h Divide each side by 30 h = 6.5 6.5 feet is 6 feet, 6 inches. This is 2 inches more than your actor, so yes, he will fit in the box standing up.
