Answer: the height of the box is 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cuboid is expressed as

Volume = length * width * height

Terrance has to build a metal box that he can store costumes in for his theater program. The volume of the box to be built is 36 cubic-feet. The length or base of the cuboid is 6 feet. The width of the cuboid is 2 feet. Therefore, the height of the cuboid, h will be

36 = 6*2*h

12h = 36

h = 36/12 = 3 feet
