The volume of the box is L * W * H = 1680 
Let the width be W. But Height, H, = W + 7 and Length, L, = 2W - 2 
So we have (2W - 2) * W * (W + 7) = 1680 
So we have (2W^2 - 2W)(W + 7) = 1680 
2W^3 - 2W^2 + 14W^2 - 14W = 1680 
2W^3 + 12W^2 - 14W = 1680 
W^3 + 6W^2 - 7W = 840 
W^3 + 6W^2 - 7W - 840 = 0 
Let f(w) = W^3 + 6W^2 - 7W - 840  
The root of the polynomial occurs when f(w) = 0 
So by trial and error let w = 8 
Then we have 8^3 + 6(8)^2 - 7(8) - 840 = 0 
Hence w = 8 is a root of the equation.  
So we divide our polynomial by the root to obtain other roots, I.e W^3 + 6W^2
- 7W - 840 divide by w- 8. Doing this we have w = 15 and W = 14.
 Hence the dimensions of the box is 8 * 15 * 14

Write a paragraph proof.
Ivenika [448]
RS Bisects QT means, it cuts QT in two equal halves, so QP would be equal to PT, as it is an isosceles triangle, one other side would be equal as well, so RP is equal to PS, Now, by ASA, we conclude the both mentioned triangles in the figure are congruent.

Hope this helps!
