Question 734275
width of x, a length of x+1, and a height of 2. It is cut from a rectangular sheet of material with an area of 182 

since the height is 2 , 2 inches is cut off from the sides

width will be x+4
length will e x+5

area of sheet = (x+4)(x+5)= 182

x^2+9x+20=182

x^2+9x-162=0

x^2+18x-9x-162=0

x(x+18)-9(x+18)=0
(x+18)(x-9)=0
x= 9 which is positive
Box dimension 9 by 10 by 2"

width = 13" and length = 14" of sheet
