  • Microwave Depth Calculation: Finding the Height from Volume & Dimensions
    The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:

    $$V=lwh$$

    where \(l\) is the length, \(w\) is the width, and \(h\) is the height.

    We are given that the volume of the microwave oven is 1.2 cubic feet, the width is 18 inches, and the length is 10 inches. So, the height of the microwave oven can be found as follows:

    $$1.2=18(10)h$$

    $$1.2=180h$$

    $$h=\frac{1.2}{180}$$

    $$h\approx 0.0067\approx 0.7\ inches$$

    Therefore, the microwave is approximately 0.7 inches deep.
