Question

A rectangular prism has a volume of 360in^3. It has a sqaure base of x centimeters and a height of x + 4. What are the dimensions.

Answer 1

How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism?

Answer 2

so the base is in centimeters?

Answer 3

V = 360 in^3 or 5899.34 cu. cm.

Answer 4

V = l x w x h

5899.34 cm^3 = l x w x h

since x is square, thus, x = l = w... and h = x + 4,

5899.34 = x * x * x+4
5899.34 = x^3 + 4x^2

Answer 5

x^3 + 4x^2 - 5899.34 = 0 ---> equate that haha
