The answer & explanation for this question is given in the attachment below.
NO it is not possible when dividing an irregular shape to polygons to overlap. Every polygon would be broken up in piece.
The volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)
<h3>How to determine the volume?</h3>
The complete question is added as an attachment
From the attached image, we have:
Length = 12 - 2x
Width = 7 - 2x
Height = x
The volume is calculated as:
Volume = Length * Width * Height
Substitute the known values in the above equation
Volume = (12 - 2x) * (7 - 2x) * x
This gives
Volume = x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)
Hence, the volume of the box as a polynomial in the variable x is x(12 - 2x)(7 - 2x)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(-13 - 7)/(-1 + 3) = -20/2 = -10
y - 7 = -10(x - 3)
y - 7 = -10x + 30
y = - 10x + 37
