B. 8 inches, hope this was right and helped:)

The minimum height the square containers should have is 8 inches.

What should be the minimum height the square containers ?

The first step is to determine the volume of the cylindrical oatmeal canister.

Volume = 1/3πr²h

Where:

π = 3.14

r = radius 4/2 = 2

3.14 x 2² x 10 = 125.6

Now, determine the minimum height of the square box.

Height = volume of the cannister / (area of the base)

125.6 / (4 x 4) = 7.85 = 8 inches
