Question 577617: I am a rectangular prism, so I have a height (h), a width (w) and a depth (d). Here are your clues to determining each of my dimensions...my depth is 3 more units than my width, my height is 1.5 units less than my depth, and the sum of my 3 dimensions is slightly > 25 units. Finally, my volume is 595 cubic units while my surface area is 429 square units.
What are my 3 dimensions? List the depth, height and width

Question 579237: A lawn is 90 feet long and 40 feet wide. By cutting along the perimeter, how wide is this border if 1/3 of the grass is cut?
More info: provided solution is 5 feet. Student says answer must be derived by using quadratic formula.
X=width of the border
2(90)(x)+2(40)(x)=(90 times 40)/3
Which then does not result in a constant for a to be used in the quadratic formula. B is 260 and c is negative 1200. Since the constant a is zero, i get a divide by zero using the quadratic formula which means to me the answer is infinite but the provided answer is 5. I have made an error but i can't find it. Please advise.

Question 579894: 1. From a second - story window directly across the street, the angle of elevation of the top of an office building is 57 degrees and 20 minutes and the angle of depression of the base is 18 degrees and 10 minutes. If the buildings are 38 m. apart, what is the height of the building ?
2. Mr. Reyes wanted to know the height of the tree. What he did was form a point A on the ground and observed that the angle of elevation of the top of the tree was 30 degrees. He then moved 50 ft. away from A. In his second position at B, the angle of elevation of the top of the tree was 22 degrees. Find the height of the tree.
