Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the picture attached it can be seen that if the plane cuts a right rectangular prism through five of the six faces, a pentagon is created. The picture is just an example, any five faces are possible to create a pentagon
Length: 2w + 59
width: w
diagonal: (2w + 59) + 2 = 2w + 61
Length² + width² = diagonal²
(2w + 59)² + (w)² = (2w + 61)²
(4w² + 118w + 3481) + w² = 4w² + 122w + 3721
5w² + 118w + 3481 = 4w² + 122w + 3721
w² + 118w + 3481 = 122w + 3721
w² - 4w + 3481 = 3721
w² - 4w - 240 = 0
a = 1, b = -4, c = -240
w =

=
=
=
since width cannot be negative, disregard 1 - 2√61
w = 1 + 2√61 ≈ 16.62
Length: 2w + 59 = 2(1 + 2√61) + 59 = 2 + 4√61 + 59 = 61 + 4√61 ≈ 92.24
Answer: width = 16.62 in, length = 92.24 in
