the original patio was 12 x 12 ,
if you take 5 feet off the height that would make new height 12-5 = 7 feet
and add 5 feet to the length 12 +5 = 17 feet
so new patio would be 7 x 17
7 x 17 = 119 square feet
so A would be the correct answer
Volume of a rectangular prism = 40 cubic feet.
Volume of a rectangular prism = length * width * height
width = x
length = 1 foot greater than its width = x + 1
height = 2 feet less than its width = x - 2
l * w * h = 40 ft³
(x+1) * x * (x -2) = 40
(x² + x)(x-2)
x³ - 2x² + x² + 2x = 40
x³ - x² + 2x - 40 = 0
solve for the value of x. I used the calculator to get the volume.
width = x = 4
length = x + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
height = x - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2
V = 4 * 5 * 2
V = 20 * 2
V = 40 ft³
