1) HEIGHT=8 INCHES, LENGTH=W+3 INCHES, WIDTH=W.
\n" ); document.write( "VOLUME =L*W*H
\n" ); document.write( "560=(W+3)*W*8
\n" ); document.write( "560=(W^2+3W)*8
\n" ); document.write( "560/8=W^2+3W
\n" ); document.write( "70=W^2+3W
\n" ); document.write( "W^2+3W-70=0
\n" ); document.write( "(W+10)(W-7)=0
\n" ); document.write( "W+10=0
\n" ); document.write( "W=-10 NOT AN ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "W-7=0
\n" ); document.write( "W=7 ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "560=(7+3)*7*8
\n" ); document.write( "560=10*7*8
\n" ); document.write( "560=560
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2) 1568=S^2
\n" ); document.write( "S=SQRT1568
\n" ); document.write( "S=39.597979 IS THE LENGTH OF THE SIDES.
\n" ); document.write( "THUS THE RADIUS IS S/2
\n" ); document.write( "39.597979/2=19.798989 FEET.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "3) SQRT(X^2+Y^2)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "4)AREA=S^2 & PERIMETER=4S. THUS:
