Answer:

width = 5 in

length = 5+4=9 in

height = 2(5)= 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A gift box has a volume of 450 cubic inches.

Let 'w' be the width of the box

The width of the box is 4 inches less than the length.

length = w+4

The height is twice the width.

height = 2 \cdot width

height = 2w

Volume of box = length times width times height

V=(w+4)(w)(2w)

450=(w+4)(w)(2w)

450=2w^3+8w^2

2w^3+8w^2-450=0

\quad 2\left(w-5\right)\left(w^2+9w+45\right)=0

w-5=0

w=5

\quad\left(w^2+9w+45\right)=0, this gives two complex values

so width = 5

length = 5+4=9

height = 2(5)= 10

11 hours 18 min 36 sec to hours
zlopas [31]
I'm not really sure about this math but I tried to answer it for you

1)Convert 11 hours to minutes = 660 minutes. 11 hours x 60 mins=660
2)Add the 18 minutes to 660 =678 minutes
3) 678 divided by 60 mins = 11.3 hours, but we still have the 36 seconds remaining so I didn't exactly divide 678 minutes by 60, but I divided 678.36 by 60 which gave me 11.306 hours.

That's it I truly apologise if this is wrong. But if you figure out the right method please show me and others who may have done it this way or another way, so please share. GOOD LUCK.
