the new trunk has to have volume 360 ft^2. Let x=the amount that has to be added in feet.
\n" ); document.write( "the dimensions will be (5+x)(4+0.8x)(3+0.6x), to keep the same shape.
\n" ); document.write( "This is 0.48x^3+7.2x2+36x+60=360
\n" ); document.write( "I get the 0.8 because the width is 4/5 of the length. This gives the same result as the cube root of 6. So 0.8x/1x is 4/5 and 0.6 to 1 x is 3/5 and 3/4 compared to the other.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=4.086 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "the dimensions are 9.086 ft*7.2686 ft.*5 4516 ft.=360.04 ft^3\r
