\n" ); document.write( "I will assume \"ATBC\" is (A transpose)*(B)*(C).

\n" ); document.write( "A is 5x3, so A transpose is 3x5.

\n" ); document.write( "So in the multiplication (A transpose)*(B)*(C), the dimensions of the matrices are

\n" ); document.write( "{3x5) * (rxs) * (4x5)

\n" ); document.write( "For the multiplication to be possible, r must be 5 and s must be 4.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: B is a 5x4 matrix.

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
