A pizza parlor uses square prisms for their pizza boxes. Due to the crust rising, the height of their boxes is always 2 inches. Additionally, the volume of the pizza box must be 450 cubic inches to fit their standard-sized pizza. A worker determined that the equation below could be used to find the side length, x, of the box needed to reach that volume.

We are to find the side length of the box

Volume = Length * Breadth * Height


Volume of box = 450 cubic inches

Height of box = 2 inches

Length of box = x

Since it is a square prism, Breadth = Length = x


Therefore,

Volume = Length * Breadth * Height

⇒ 450 = 2 * x * x

⇒ 450 = 2x²

⇒ 2x² = 450


Divide the equation by 2

2x²/2 = 450/2

x² = 225

⇒√x² = √225

x = 15

The side length of the box is 15 inches
