A cube has all sides of equal length.
So let the side be x
that will be length = width = height = x
Now, when we cut the loaf into 5 equal slices, the length and height of the slices are the same as the original loaf. But the width will become less with each slicing. Here the width corresponds to the thickness of the slices.
For each slice the dimensions are -
Length = x
height = x
width = 0.6
Volume of the original loaf is x³.
Volume of 5 slices is 5(x * x * 0.6).
Volume that is left after the cutting the slices is 235 inch³.
So, equation of the volume is=
x³ - 5(0.6x²) = 235
Solve for x using this equation.
x³ - 3x² = 235
x³ - 3x² - 235 = 0
Using a graph calculator to find the roots, we get
x = 7.35
Hence the dimensions of the original loaf is 7.35 inches for each side.

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
An <u><em>equilateral triangle</em></u> has three equal sides and three equal interior angles (each interior angle measure 60 degrees)
so
The perimeter is equal to
where
b is the length side of the equilateral triangle
we have
substitute
solve for b
Find the area
The formula of area applying the law of sines is equal to
substitute the value of b
