Answer:

29 feet in length, 5 feet in width and 12 feet in height

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that for the volume of a quadrangular prism is:

V = l * w * h

Ie length times width times height

In this case, the height is determined by the squares that you put in each corner, taking into account that a square has all the same sides, the height is 12 inches. h = 12

they tell us that the length is 24 inches more than the width, that is, l = 24 + w

replacing we have:

1740 = (24 + w) * w * 12

1740 = 12 * w ^ 2 + 288 * w

12 * w ^ 2 + 288 * w - 1740 = 0

if we calculate the root, we have w = 5 or w = -29

only works when w = 5

Thus:

l = 24 + 5

l = 29

which means that the dimensions are:

29 feet in length, 5 feet in width and 12 feet in height

What is the answer???
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

A and B are the remaining angles because of course a triangle always adds up to 180 degrees so you subtract 125.5 from 180 and get 54.25, then you look for the teo angles that when added together total 54.25 and you have your angle then using your three angles you calculate your area to be 772.04
