Answer:
14 in and 16 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
We are told that the aquarium has the shape of a cube
the first specification is
2744 cubic inches
volume= 2744 cubic inches
length = ∛2744
length= 14 in
the second specification is
4096 cubic inches
volume= 4096 cubic inches
length = ∛4096
length= 16 in
Hence the possible lengths are
14 in and 16 in
Answer:
the first 3 consecutive numbers
x, x +1, x +2 = 270
x+x+1+x+2 =270
3x +3 =270
collect like terms
3x =270 -3
3x =267
divide both sides by 3
x =89
