Answer:
x ≈ 14.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the triangle is right then use Pythagoras' identity.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
x² + 15² = 21²
x² + 225 = 441 ( subtract 225 from both sides )
x² = 216 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ≈ 14.7 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:
width = 5 in
length = 5+4=9 in
height = 2(5)= 10 in
Step-by-step explanation:
A gift box has a volume of 450 cubic inches.
Let 'w' be the width of the box
The width of the box is 4 inches less than the length.
The height is twice the width.
height = 2w
Volume of box = length times width times height
w=5
, this gives two complex values
so width = 5
length = 5+4=9
height = 2(5)= 10
