Answer:

Volume = 480 cubic inches

Explanation:

We have the following relationships to work with

width w = h -3

length l = h + 4

area of base of prism a = l x w = 60  (1)

area of base in terms of h = (h-3)(h+4) =h² -3h + 4h -12 (2)

Setting (1) = (2) gives

h² + h -12 =60

h² + h -72 = 0

Factoring the LHS we get

(h+9)(h-8) = 0

The solutions for h are

h + 9 = 0 ==> h = -9

h - 8 = 0 ==> h = 8

Since h cannot be negative, h = 8 inches

Volume = base area x h = 60 x 8 = 480 cubic inches

<u>Note</u>

We do not have to calculate length and width separately, but if so,

w = 8 -3 = 5

l = 8 + 4 = 12

Seth is certainly the one who needs a long term care insurance.

A long term care insurance is a policy that covers the nursing bills for older citizens who are 65 years and above. It is an advance payment that covers about six or more years.

Such a policy is of more importance to Seth who has spent most of the money that he has made and keeps spending. He may not have enough money to cover his nursing bills in old age but Colin would depend on his long term savings.
