a rectangular solid has a volume of 640 cubic inches. the width is 3 inches more than the height and the length is 1 inch more than 3 times the height. find the dimensions of the solid.
\n" ); document.write( "=================
\n" ); document.write( "Vol = L*W*H = 640
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "(3H+1)*(H+3)*H = 640
\n" ); document.write( "3H^3 + 10H^2 + 3H - 640 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "If they are integers, one dimension is a multiple of 5.
\n" ); document.write( "--> H = 2
\n" ); document.write( "--> 7*5*2 = 70 NG
\n" ); document.write( "=================
\n" ); document.write( "H = 5
\n" ); document.write( "--> 16*8*5 = 640 works
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
