# Math Help - Given a volume, how to find the height of a box?

1. ## Given a volume, how to find the height of a box?

Hi all,

Not sure which FORUM this should be posted to, geometry or calculus.

Anyway, the question/problem is as below:

==================

The volume of the box in cubic metres is 20 times the height in metres.

$V = 20hm^3$

Find the value of h?

==================

Am very lost, how do I find the value of h?

We can assume that the base area of the box has a value of 20 m²

$V = 20hm^3~\implies~h=\frac V{(20 m^2)}\ \text{m}$

The dimension of the result is in metres.
