Three consecutive integers are x, x+1, x+2.
The volume of a rectangular box is the product of its three dimensions. The volume is 138000 cm³.

x(x+1)(x+2)=13800 \\
(x^2+x)(x+2)=13800 \\
x^3+2x^2+x^2+2x=13800 \\
x^3+3x^2+2x-13800=0 \\
x^3-23x^2+26x^2-598x+600x-13800=0 \\
x^2(x-23)+26x(x-23)+600(x-23)=0 \\
(x^2+26x+600)(x-23)=0 \\ 
x^2+26x+600=0 \ \lor \ x-23=0 \\ \\
1. \\
x^2+26x+600=0 \\ \\
a=1 \\ b=26 \\ c=600 \\ \Delta=b^2-4ac=26^2-4 \times 1 \times 600=676-2400=-1724 \\
\hbox{the discriminant is less than 0 so there are no real solutions} \\ \\
2. \\
x-23=0 \\
x=23 \\ \\
x+1=23+1 =24 \\ \\
x+2=23+2=25

The dimensions of the box are 23 cm x 24 cm x 25 cm.

Parallelogram ABCD has the angle measures shown. Can you conclude that it is a rhombus, a rectangle, or a square? Explain.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The correct option is parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, because the diagonal bisects two angles

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABD:

∠B = ∠D

Thus AB=AC by the property of opposite sides of equal angles are equal

In triangle CBD

∠B = ∠D

Thus CB=CD  by the property of opposite sides of equal angles are equal

Thus all four sides of quadrilateral ABCD are equal  

And diagonal BD bisects the angles  

So, it is a rhombus

Therefore the correct option is  parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, because the diagonal bisects two angles....
