Nathan has a sculpture in the shape of a pyramid. The height of the sculpture is 3 centimeters less than the side length, x, of

its square base. Nathan uses the formula for the volume of a pyramid to determine the dimensions of the sculpture:
Here, a is the side length of the pyramid’s square base and h is its height.

If 162 cubic centimeters of clay were used to make the sculpture, the equation x3 +
x2 +
= 0 can be used to find that the length of the sculpture’s base is
centimeters.

Let
x-----------> <span>the side length of a pyramid square base
h-----------> t</span>he height of the sculpture <span>in the shape of a pyramid

we know that
h=(x-3)
Volume=162 cm</span>³
Volume=x² *(x-3)/3
then
x² *(x-3)/3=162----------> x³-3x²=486----------> x³-3x²-486=0
x³-3x²-486=0-------- <span>this equation can be used to find the length of the sculpture’s base 

using a graph tool-----------> </span>to find the solution
x=9 cm -------------> see the attached figure
h=(x-3)-----> h=9-3--------> h=6 cm

the answer is
<span>the length of the sculpture’s base is 9 cm
</span>the height of the sculpture is 6 cm
