Answer:

Length = 8 inches

Width = 4 inches

Height = 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box = 192 cubic inches

Volume of a box = length × width × height

Let

Width = x

Length = 2x

Height = x + 2

Volume of a box = length × width × height

192 = 2x * x * (x + 2)

192 = 2x^2 (x + 2)

192 = 2x^3 + 4x^2

Divide through by 2

96 = x^3 + 2x^2

Subtract 96 from both sides

x ^3 + 2x^2 - 96 = 0

Factorise

(x - 4) (x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0

x^2 + 6x + 24 has no real x-value

So,

Divide both sides by (x^2 + 6x + 24).

0 ÷ (x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0

So,

(x - 4) = 0

x = 4

Width = x = 4 inches

Length = 2x

= 2(4)

= 8 inches

Height = x + 2

= 4 + 2

= 6 inches

Check:

Volume of a box = length × width × height

= (8 * 4 * 6) inches

= 192 inches

Analyze the diagram below and answer the question that follows.

M/IGJ will equal 52 degrees.
Since EGF is 90 degrees then and EGD equals 38 degrees you need to subtract 38 from 90 and you are left with 52 degrees for angle FGD. The alternate interior angle to FGD is IGJ which would make the angles congruent.
