Answer:
length of the prism = 244 - (width x height) / width + height)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let length be a and width be b and height be c
2 (a * b) + 2 (b* c) + 2 (a * c) = 488
2ab+ 2bc + 2ac = 488
ab + bc + ac = 244
ab + ac = 244 - ac
a (b + c) = 244-ac
a = 244-bc / b + c
Therefore the length of the prism = 244 - (width x height) / width + height)
I think it should be 25 blocks east
Note:xy means x times y and x(y) means the same thing
so
first we get rid of square root then
make the equation equal to zero becaues if
xy=0 then x or/and y=0
squareroot(y-1)+3=y
isolate the squareroot
subtrac 3 from boht sides
squareroot(y-1)=y-3
square both sides (since they are equal, you should be able to square both sides and still make it true)
(squareroot(y-1))^2=(y-3)^2
(y-1)=(y-3)(y-3)
y-1=y^2-6y+9
subtrac y from both sides
-1=y^2-7y+9
add 1 to both sides
0=y^2-7y+10
find what two number multiply to make 10 and add to get -7
the answer is -2 and -5
0=(y-5)(y-2)
therfore
y-5=0
and/or
y-2=0
therefor
y=5 or/and 2 might work
let's try out 2
square root(2-1)+3=2
square root(1)+3=2
1+3=2
false
so 2 doesn't work
let's try 5
squareroot(5-1)+3=5
squareroot(4)+3=5
2+3=5
5=5
true
y=5
