The correct question is
The raised vegetable garden in Susan's yard is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a volume of 48 cubic feet and a height of 3/4 foot. <span>The base of the rectangular prism is not a square and the width is greater than 2 feet. What is the length and width of the rectangular prism?
let
x-------> the length of the base of the rectangular prism
</span>y-------> the width of the base of the rectangular prism
<span>
we know that
volume of the prism=area of the base*height
volume=48 ft</span>³
<span>height of the prism=3/4 ft
area of the base=volume/height--------> 48/(3/4)---> 48*4/3----> 64 ft</span>²
<span>
area of the base=64 ft</span>²
<span>area of the base=x*y
64=x*y--------> equation 1
y=x+2--------> equation 2
substitute equation 2 in equation 1
64=x*[x+2]-----> 64=x</span>²+2x------> x²+2x-64=0
<span>
using a graph tool----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=7.062 ft
y=x+2-----> y=7.062+2-----> y=9.062 ft
the answer is
</span>the length of the base of the rectangular prism is 7.062 ft
the width of the base of the rectangular prism is 9.062 ft<span>

<u>ANSWER</u>
is an example of literal equation.
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
A literal equation is an equation in which letters or variables are used to represent real values.
A literal equation consists of at least two letters or variables.
The first option consists of two variables but it is not an equation. It is just an expression.
The second option is not a literal equation because it consists of only one variable. This is just a linear equation in one variable. But a literal equation should have at least two variables or letters.
As for the third option, it does not even contain a variable or letter.
