The correct question is;

Layla wants to build a wooden box with a volume of 45 cubic centimeters. She started with a width of 3 cm and a height of 3 cm. How long should Layla make the box?

Answer:

Box is 5 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Volume; V = 45 cm³

Width; w = 3 cm

Height; h = 3 cm

Now, this box has the shape of a cuboid and the volume of a cuboid is given as;

V = l * w * h

Where;

L is length

w is width

h is height

Making L the subject, we have;

V/wh = L

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

L = 45 / (3 * 3)

L = 45/9

L = 5 cm
