Since the formula for volume is \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"V=Area_of_base%2Aheight\" which is identical to \"V=length%2Awidth%2Aheight\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the height is \"x%2B5\" (I don't see a height posted anywhere, double check the problem) then the area of the base is \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B5x%2B6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, if thats not the case, then we must factor \"x%5E2%2B5x%2B6\" into \"%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B2%29\" to get\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B2%29%28x%2B5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the height is \"%28x%2B2%29\" then the area is \"%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B5%29=x%5E2%2B8x%2B15\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the height is \"%28x%2B3%29\" then the area is \"%28x%2B2%29%28x%2B5%29=x%5E2%2B7x%2B10\"
