Question 896385: The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula V = lwh (length•width•height). What are the length, width, and height of the prism if the volume is 3x3 + 9x2 + 6x? Your answer will not have exact numeric dimensions but rather three algebraic terms that represent them.

This 3x^3 + 9x^2 + 6x should be multiplied NOT added.
V = (3x^3)(9x^2)(6x)
V = 162x^6
How did I get the volume?
I multiplied three (3x^3)(9x^2)(6x) together, right?
Length = 3x^3
height = 9x^2
width = 6x

Understand?
