A certain box has a width that is 2 inches more than its length and a height that is 5 inches less than its length. If each of the two smallest faces of the box has an area of 36 square inches, what is the volume if the box?

V = 396 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

width = w; length = l; height = h; volume = V; area of smallest face = a

base units are inches

w = 2 + l

h = l - 5

Height is smallest and length is second smallest (h = l -, l = l, w = l +), so a is for h and l.

a = h × l = (l - 5) × l

36 = l^2 - 5l ==> l^2 - 5l - 36 = 0

Factor ==> (l - 9) × (l + 4) = 0

l = 9 and l = -4

Since length cannot be negative, 9 is the only Real answer.

l = 9

h = l - 5 = 9 - 5 = 4

w = 2 + l = 2 + 9 = 11

Volume of rectangular prism/box is length times width times height.

V = l × w × h = 9 × 11 × 4 = 396

i have done this all on a piece of paper but idk how to put it on here cuz it needs to be drawn

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
