What could be the possible dimensions of the box?

The box has a length of (blank)

meters, height of (blank)

meters, and width of 0.5 meter.

Verified Answer :

The moving box has a volume of 20 m^3. The width of the box is 0.5.
The volume of the box has a formula of
Volume =  length width height.
20 = 0.5 length height

Let length and height be x and y, respectively
20 = 0.5 x  
20 = 0.5xy
40 = xy
xy = 40

The possible dimensions of length and height that are greater than 3 are:
(1) 8m & 5m
(2) 10m & 4m
