@thomaster @terenzreignz

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Let's let w be the width, okay?

OpenStudy (1645323):

ok so l^3=2w

OpenStudy (1645323):

no 3l=2w

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

w is the width. What's twice the width?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

It's 2w.. right, anyway, the length is three MORE than twice the width. So what is l?

OpenStudy (1645323):

15 and w is 6

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

That was fast.

OpenStudy (1645323):
