The answer is
w = 6 in
l = 16 in
h = 12 in

The volume of a rectangular prism with length l, width w, and height h is:
V = l * w * h

V = 1152 in³

After some internet research, I found out that:
l = 2w + 4
h = 18 - w

So,
V = l * w * h
1152 = (2w + 4) * w * (18 - w)

Multiply the first two factors:
1152 = (2w² + 4w) * (18 - w)

Multiply two remaining factors:
1152 = 36w² + 72w - 2 w³ - 4w²

Rearrange:
-2w³ + 36w² - 4w² + 72w = 1152
-2w³ + 32w² + 72w = 1152
-2w³ + 32w² + 72w - 1152 = 0

Divide all by 2:
-w³ + 16w² + 36w - 576 = 0

Multiply by (-1):
w³ - 16w² - 36w + 576 = 0

Rearrange:
(w³ - 36w) - (16w² - 576) = 0

Factor:
w * w² - w * 36 - (16 * w² - 16 * 36) = 0
w(w² - 36) - 16(w² - 36) = 0
(w - 16)(w² - 36) = 0
(w - 16)(w² - 6²) = 0
(w - 16)(w - 6)(w + 6) = 0

So, w - 16 = 0, or w - 6 = 0, or w + 6 = 0.
In other words: w = 16, or w = 6, or w = -6.

Width cannot be negative, so w ≠ -6.
If w = 16, then l = 2 * 16 + 4 = 32 + 4 = 36 and h = 18 - 16 = 2
But, since the height must be greater than the width (h > w), w ≠ 16

If w = 6, then l = 2 * 6 + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16 and h = 18 - 6 = 12.
Thus:
w = 6 in
l = 16 in
h = 12 in

A circular pond has a radius of 10 meters there is an average of 2 frogs per square meter in the pond approximately how many fro
Y_Kistochka [10]
First, we need to find the area of the pond.
The formula for the area of a circle is: 3.14r^2
So, first of all, the radius is 10, and we need to square that, so 10 x 10 = 100.
There. Now, with the squared radius, we need to multiply that by pi.
100 x 3.14 = 314.
The area of the pond is 314 square meters.
Secondly, we need to find the number of frogs. If there are 2 frogs in each square meter, then 2 x 314 = 628.
There are 628 frogs in the pond.

Mickey built his lemonade stand out of $75,000 worth of plywood and paint. he sells a glass of lemonade for $30 and uses $1.25 o
Leviafan [203]
Break even point is where all the expense is already covered by the revenue. In this case, the expense would be the stand ($75,000) and the lemon+sugar+water ( $1.25 per glass). The revenue comes from lemonade($30/glass). Then the equation would be:

$30 * glass of lemonade= $75,000 + $1.25 * glass of lemonade
($30-$1.25) * glass of lemonade= $75,000
glass of lemonade= 2608.7

Katen [24]

Money borrowed by Anthony from his friend for a sandwich and drink at lunch = $6.50

Money borrowed by Anthony from his sister to pay a library fine = $3.75

Hence, the equation to express Anthony's total debt that day will be =

Let T be the total debt , so the equations becomes,

6.50 + 3.75 = T
