The volume of a box can be found by multiplying the length times width times height of a box [v=lwh]. if the volume of a box is 1,300 cubic inches and all it's dimensions are equal, what is the side length of the box in inches. pleaze

length, width, and height are (b+2), (b-2), (b+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Doing what the problem statement tells you to do, you get ...

 (b^3 +3b^2) -(4b +12)

 = b^2(b +3) -4(b +3) . . . . . factor each pair of terms

 = (b^2 -4)(b +3) . . . . . . . . . write as a product

 = (b -2)(b +2)(b +3) . . . . . . use the factoring of the difference of squares

The three factors are (b-2), (b+2), and (b+3). We have no clue as to how to associate those with length, width, and height. We just know these are the dimensions of the box.

answer: 48
