Question 1173167: In a candy factory the chocolate bars are 12 cm in length, 7 cm in width, and 3 cm in thickness. While trying to save money, they reduced the volume of the bar by 10%(NOT THE MEASUREMENTS, THE ACTUAL VOLUME) consider reducing 2 dimensions(NOT 3) by the same percent to have the volume of 90% of the original volume. (there are 3 possibilities find all of them)

To reduce the volume by a factor of 90% = 0.9, reduce any 2 of the 3 dimensions by a factor of sqrt%280.9%29.

You can do the calculations to get the actual answers.
