Question 1166291: In producing quality products, one important feature is packaging. Suppose, you are assigned to design a box to produce a box package for a product in the shape of a pyramid with a square base having a total volume of 166 2/3 cubic inches. The height of the package must be 15 inches greater than the length of the base. What is the dimension of the base?
Let:
____=area of the base
____=height of the pyramid
If the volume of he pyramid is V=1/3(area of base)(height), then the equation that will lead to the solution is 36=
the possible roots of the equation are=
using synthetic division, the roots are=
therefore the length of the base of the package is___and its height is____.
The equation that will lead to the solution has nothing to do with the number 36 so I don't know what you were trying to say there. The equation that will lead to the solution is:
So solve
That's all I'm going to give you because: 1. You asked more than one question. 2. You didn't explain what it was that you didn't understand about the question. 3. You didn't show the work you had done or what you had tried on your own to solve the problem. In other words, I give minimal help to people who put in minimal effort..
