A company makes a set of three boxes that it within one another show separated below
Each bas a square base. The base of each smaller box has side length 2 inches shorter than
the one it sits within All boxes have a common height of 4 inches
What is the total volume that can be held by the three boxes
when separated

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)

5 + 8 +7 + 4 + 0 +1 = 25
