Question 1153942: The length is 5 inches more than the width. The width is 3 inches more than the height. The volume is 336 cubic inches. Find the length, width, and height. Found 2 solutions by ikleyn, josmiceli:Answer by ikleyn(52810) (Show Source):
h*(h+3)*((h+3)+5) = 336
h*(h+3)*(h+8) = 336. (1)
336 = 4*7*12.
It is the decomposition of the number 336 into the product of 3 factors with the same differences
between the factors as in the formula (1).
Therfore, x= 4 is the solution for x.
ANSWER. Height is 4 inches; width is 4+3 = 7 inches; length is 4+8 = 12 inches.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = the width in inches = the length in inches = the height
