The surface area of a cube-shaped box without a top is $252 {\mathrm{cm}}^2$. Find the volume of the box.

Suppose you have a $4\mathrm{L}$ container and a $9\mathrm{L}$ container. If you had access to a source of running water, explain how you could measure out exactly $6\mathrm{L}$ of water. 

Some of these problems have too much information and some do not have enough. For each problem, state which information is irrelevant, and write down which information is missing in order for you to solve it.

Josip just bought a lightweight cylindrical water bottle where the radius of the bottle is half of its height.  When full, it weighs $450$ grams and holds a volume of $770 {\mathrm{cm}}^3$. Find the dimensions of the water bottle.

On her way home, Natalee's plane took off at $8:10\mathrm{am}$ and flew at an angle of $30°$, with the ground. If the plane's speed was $285 \mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}$ and it rose to an altitude of $8000$ meters, what horizontal distance did it cover during that time?
