Answer:
Volume = 480 cubic inches
Explanation:
We have the following relationships to work with
width w = h -3
length l = h + 4
area of base of prism a = l x w = 60 (1)
area of base in terms of h = (h-3)(h+4) =h² -3h + 4h -12 (2)
Setting (1) = (2) gives
h² + h -12 =60
h² + h -72 = 0
Factoring the LHS we get
(h+9)(h-8) = 0
The solutions for h are
h + 9 = 0 ==> h = -9
h - 8 = 0 ==> h = 8
Since h cannot be negative, h = 8 inches
Volume = base area x h = 60 x 8 = 480 cubic inches
<u>Note</u>
We do not have to calculate length and width separately, but if so,
w = 8 -3 = 5
l = 8 + 4 = 12

The themes of the poem should include survival of the loyal, freedom from servitude, the inevitability of death, passage of time amongst others. Survival of the loyal: The persona is seen as a civil servant who is ready to accept any form of subjugation in order to survive.

The renewed interest in Wole Soyinka's works could be because he used irony and some humor to criticize social problems in Nigeria, as well as a serious criticism of Nigerian government officials, putting emphasis on military dictators.
Soyinka is a Nigerian writer that has always been interested in the social condition of the people of Nigeria under tough political and economic times. He has written many essays, poems, even plays that have exhibited in his country. That is why so many people in Africa want an anthology that includes all the works of Wole Soyinka.
