Answer 1

Option C: $5 x(4 x+7)(3 x+2)$ is the possible expressions for length, width and height of the prism.

Explanation:

The volume of the rectangular prism is $60 x^{3}+145 x^{2}+70 x$

To determine the length, width and height of the rectangular prism, let us factor the expression.

Thus, factoring 5x from the expression, we have,

$5 x\left(12 x^{2}+29 x+14\right)$

Let us break the expression $12 x^{2}+29 x+14$ into two groups, we get,

$5x[\left(12 x^{2}+8 x\right)+(21 x+14)]$

Factoring 4x from the term $12 x^{2}+8 x$ , we get,

$5x[4 x(3 x+2)+(21x+14)]$

Similarly, factoring 7x from the term $21 x+14$ , we get,

$5x[4 x(3 x+2)+7(3x+2)]$

Now, let us factor out $3x+2$, we get,

$5 x(4 x+7)(3 x+2)$

Hence, the possible expressions for length, width and height of the prism is $5 x(4 x+7)(3 x+2)$

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
