Step-by-step explanation:
Volume = 198 ft
length * width * height = 198
(x - 1) * (x + 4) * 3 = 198
(x - 1) * (x + 4) = 198/3
(x - 1) * (x + 4) = 66
x*x + x*4 -1*x - 1*4 = 66 {Use FOIL method to multiply}
x² + 4x - x - 4 = 66
x² + 3x - 4 =66
x² + 3x - 4 - 66 = 0
x² + 3x - 70 = 0
Now factorize.
x² + 10x - 7x - 7*10 = 0
x(x +10) - 7(x + 10 ) = 0
(x + 10)(x - 7) = 0
x - 7 = 0 {x + 10 is ignored because measurement cannot be in negative}
x = 7
length = x - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6ft
Width = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 ft
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of Keith's height and his nephew's height is 15:7. Let keith height be x cm and his nephews height be y cm.

Keiths height increased by 16% , therefore Keith new height is (100% + 16%) × x = 1.16x
The nephew height is doubled, therefore his new height is 2y.
Given that Keith is now 34 cm taller than his nephew
1.16x = 2y + 34
but x = (15/7)y

The nephews new height = 2y = 2(70) = 140 cm
Keith new height = 2y + 34 = 140 + 34 = 174 cm
Their total current height = 140 cm + 174 cm = 314 cm
