volume of a box is height * length * width

height = 2width and width = length. so its width * width * 2width=54 => width is 3 and height is 6.


small clarification

volume of box = L * W * H
H = 2W
volume of box = L * W * 2W
54 = L * W * 2W
54 = W * W * 2W because the base is a square and all sides of a square are equal
54 = W^2 * 2W
27 = W^2 * W
27 = W^3
3 = W
H = 2W = 6
