(Points : 3)
21 inches
24 inches
33 inches
36 inches

Answer 1

What would be my equation?

Answer 2

(x-3)*3?

Answer 3

no volume = height * area of the base

Answer 4

So just solve that equation?

Answer 5

So solve that equation?

Answer 6

It does not make sense! it say,s x=−12,18

Answer 7

Just what is the answer?

Answer 8

My session is bout to end! I will give medal

Answer 9

you haven't spotted my deliberate mistake then?

Answer 10

length of side of the base = (x - 6) , height = 3
3(x -6)^2 = 675
(x - 6)^2 = 225
x-6 = 15
x = 21

Answer 11

You keep deleting your answers

Answer 12

i know - that was all wrong
the lengths of the base of the box = x - 3 - 3 = x - 6
- 2 lots of 3 inches have to be subtracted

Answer 13

get it?
