Question

anonymous · Answer

wouldn't you have to know height in order to calculate this?

anonymous · Answer

No, the ends are square....as in height is equal to width.

anonymous · Answer

A better question is...what's x supposed to be?

anonymous · Answer

its set up as a 3d rectangle. x tall. x wide. 2x long

anonymous · Answer

yea I was thinking of square angles...LoL.

anonymous · Answer

So then the volume is (x)(x)(2x)...2x^3=8192, x^3=4096, so x=16.
