Question

Enter and solve a polynomial equation for the situation described.

Answer 1

Height = x (This is given)

Length = 5x

Width = 6x

Volume = length × width × height

The equation will be: (5x)(6x)(x) = 1920

simplify:

30x² × (x) = 1920

30x³ = 1920

Divide both sides by 30

x³= 64

x = ∛64

x= 4

If x = height, then, the height is 4cm

5x = length

20cm = length

6x = width

24cm = width
