Let length of the hypotenuse = 3x and length of given leg be x feet.
then (3x)^2 = x^2 + 648
8x^2 = 648
x^2 = 81
so x = 9 and 3x = 27
Hypotenuse is 27 feet and the leg equals 9 feet.
X= any coordinate on the x-axis . but I'm confused about the " f "
W is equal to 19/4 or 4.75
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: The width is: " 10 in. " .

Explanation:
________________________________________________
Consider a "rectangular prism".
________________________________________________
The formula for the Volume of a rectangular prism:
________________________________________________
V = L * w * h ;
_________________________________________________
in which:
V = volume = 120 in.³ ;
L = length = 8 in.
w = width = ??
h = height = 1.5 in.
____________________________________________
We want to solve for "w" (width) ;
____________________________________________
Given the formula:
____________________________________________
V = L * w * h ;
____________________________________________
Rewrite the formula; by dividing EACH SIDE of the equation by
"(L * h)" ; to isolate "w" on one side of the equation;
and to solve for "w" ;
_____________________________________________
→ V / (L * h) = ( L * w * h) / (L * h) ;
to get:
_________________________________
→ V / (L * h) = w ;
↔ w = V / (L * h) ;
_________________________________
Plug in our given values for "V", "L"; and "h"; to solve for "w" ;
____________________________________________________
→ w = (120 in.³) / (8 in. * 1.5 in.) ;
→ w = (120 in.³) / (12 in.²) ;
→ w = (120/12) in. = 10 in.
