The top of a right rectangular box has an area of 88cm^2
\n" ); document.write( "The sides have areas 32cm^2 and 44cm^2
\n" ); document.write( " What are the dimensions of the box?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "L*W = 88
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "L*H = 32
\n" ); document.write( "L = \"32%2FH\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "W*H = 44
\n" ); document.write( "W = \"44%2FH\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for L & W in the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"32%2FH\" * \"44%2FH\" = 88
\n" ); document.write( "\"1408%2FH%5E2\" = 88
\n" ); document.write( "88H^2 = 1408
\n" ); document.write( "H^2 = \"1408%2F88\"
\n" ); document.write( "H^2 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "H = \"sqrt%2816%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "H = 4 cm is the height
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "L = \"32%2FH\"
\n" ); document.write( "L = \"32%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "L = 8 cm is the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you find W using W = \"44%2FH\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
