Box volume = height * width * length. In this problem we want the length, so we solve the given equation for length:
720 in^3
length = -------------------- = 12 in
(15 in)(4 in)
The box is 12 inches long.
The correct answer is B. The function has a constant rate of change, decreasing for all x at a rate of 6.
In order to find the rate of change, we have to identify the slope. The slope is always the coefficient of x when in slope intercept form. In this case it is -6, which means it decreases at a rate of 6.

Answer: 180 inches</h3>
Work Shown:
L = 54 = length
W = 36 = width
P = 2(L+W) ... perimeter of the rectangle
P = 2(54+36)
P = 2(90)
P = 180
She needs 180 inches of ribbon.
To convert to feet, divide by 12. So 180 inches = 180/12 = 15 feet.
Answer is X=2
