\n" ); document.write( "

Let length be L
\n" );
document.write( "Then width = L - 2
\n" );
document.write( "Height = 2L + 5
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: L(L - 2)(2L + 5) = 33
\n" );
document.write( "According to the above equation, 3 factors have a PRODUCT of 33, and the only 3 INTEGRAL factors of 33 are: . \n" );
