The box is put on a table.
The face of the box in contact with the table has length 1.2 metres and width \(x\) metres.

The force exerted by the box on the table is 27 newtons.
The pressure on the table due to the box is 30 newtons/m²

\[\boxed{\text{pressure} = \dfrac{\text{force}}{\text{area}}}\]

Work out the value of \(x\).
