Bricks are delivered to a work site and stacked in rows and columns, forming a rectangular prism. The length of the prism is 3 f

eet greater than its width, and its height is 1 foot less than its width. Find the dimensions of the prism formed by the bricks, given that its volume is 1170 cubic feet.
(I set it up, and I've tried solving it, and this is all I have so far. If you could help me out by completing it AND explaining so I can better understand it, that would be great!)
Here's what I have so far:
W= x, L= x+3, H= x-1
Volume= 1170 ft^3, so L*W*H= 1170 ft^3

(x+3)*x*(x-1) (after this is where I get stuck)
10 points to whoever answers correctly! Thank you for your time!!!

Correct so far. Finish up.
.. (x +3)(x)(x -1) = 1170
.. x^3 +2x^2 -3x -1170 = 0 . . . . . . one sign change ⇒ one positive real solution

This is a cubic equation with one positive real solution. There are several possible approaches to solving this. My favorite is to let a graphing calculator show me the solution.

You can also factor 1170 = 13*10*9, so x=10.

The width of the prism is 10 feet; the length is 13 feet; the height is 9 feet.

A right triangle has side lengths 7, 24, and 25 as shown below.
Hoochie [10]

Answer: Tan B = 0.2917 (16.26 degrees)

Sin B = 0.2800 (16.26 degrees)

Cos B = 0.9600 (16.26 degrees)

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for details.

The right angled triangle LNB has been drawn with the sides labeled as 7, 24 and 25 as indicated. With angle B as the reference angle, we can now identify each side as follows;

Side 7 (opposite, facing the reference angle)

Side 24 (adjacent, between the reference angle and the right angle)

Side 25 (hypotenuse, facing the right angle).

Hence, using the trigonometric ratios,

Tan B = opposite/adjacent

Tan B = 7/24

Tan B = 0.2917 (16.26 degrees)

Sin B = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin B = 7/25

Sin B = 0.2800 (16.26 degrees)

Cos B = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cos B = 24/25

Cos B = 0.9600 (16.26 degrees)

Im going to buy huaraches in womens (7.5) so do i order that size or order an 8?
lord [1]
Depends on your foot size. I’d go with the 8 as when you hike etc your feet can “swell” some.
