width is x
\n" ); document.write( "height is x+2
\n" ); document.write( "length is 29
\n" ); document.write( "The volume is the product 29*x*(x+2)=29x^2+58x=10440
\n" ); document.write( "29x^2+58x-10440=0
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 29
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+2x-360=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x+20)(x-18)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=18 inches width
\n" ); document.write( "height is 20 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That product is 360 sq inches
\n" ); document.write( "multiplied by 29 get 10,440 in^3.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
