The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula
V = Bh/3
where B is the area of its base and h is its height. The volume of the following pyramid is 192 cubic centimeters. Find the dimensions of its rectangular base if one edge of the base is 2 centimeters longer than the other and the height of the pyramid is 12 centimeters.

Since the dimensions of the base are by , then the Volume formula can be written:



Plug in the numbers you know, namely and , leaving you with a quadratic in . Solve for and then calculate
