You can put this solution on YOUR website! The length of a rectangular block is three times its width. The surface area is 300cm^2. If the width of the block is xcm, calculate the dimensions of the box.
------
L = 3*W
SA = 2[L*W + L*H + W*H]
------
(3W*W) + 3HW + W*H = 150
------
3W^2 + 4HW - 150 = 0
-----------------------
3x^2 + 4Hx - 150 = 0
--------------
Question:: What is the height of the block??
