You have a block of wood with a depth of x units, a length of 5x units, and a height of 2x units. you need to cut a slice off the top of the block to decrease the height by 2 units. th e new block will have a volume of 480 cubic units. a. what are the dimensions of the new block?

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a block of wood with a depth of x units, a length of 5x units, and a height of 2x units.

height is decreased by 2 units , so height becomes 2x-2

Volume of a block is length times width time height

divide whole equation by 10

Subtract 48 from both sides

, x=4

each side has a different length.
