it has something to do with geometry,volume, height, of a square, do I multiply the sides, addthem.................i don't really know. The question say's that" Given volume of an object, find the lenght of the missing side. V=(Lx W) x H

Assuming you are given the volume of the object and two of the remaining three pieces of data (length, width, height), the one you want to find is

Volume / (the other two multiplied together)

If you are looking for height,
H = (V)/(LxW)

If you are looking for width,
W = (V) / (L x H)

If you are looking for length,
L = (V) / (W x H)

Since Volume = l*w*h and you already know the volume, plug in your known values and solve for the unknown. If it's length you're trying to find, you can re-write the equation in terms of length, l. Doing so would give you l = v/(w*h) Try solving it that way.

Solve for the missing side
i.e. if L is the missing side, solve for L, if W is the missing side solver for W

e.g. If L is the missing side

v=L*W*H
v/(W*H)=(L*W*H)/(W*H)
L = v/(W*H)

L.W.H = V
If you are trying to find L, divide both sides by WH.
L.W.H / (W.H) = V / (W.H)
L = V / (W.H)
