A baker is building a rectangular solid box from cardboard to be able to safely deliver a birthday cake. The baker wants the volume of the delivery box to be 224 cubic inches. If the width of the delivery box is 3 inches longer than the length and the height is 4 inches longer than the length, what must the length of the delivery box be? 3 inches
7 inches
8 inches
4 inches

4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length, w = width, and h = height

    The formula for the volume of a rectangular solid would be V = lwh. We are tasked with finding the length of the delivery box. In order to find the length, we need to change the variables so that l is the only variable in the equation.

    The prompt tells us that the width of the box is 3 inches longer than the length. That means that w = l + 3. Likewise, the prompt also informs us that the height is 4 inches longer than the length. Therefore, h = l + 4.

    Now that the variables have been changed so that l is the only variable, we can finally solve for l.

    After factoring, we are left with (l - 4)(l² + 11l + 56) = 0. Ultimately, by using the quadratic formula, l² + 11l + 56 = 0 will have imaginary number solutions. However, l - 4 = 0 gives us l = 4. Therefore, the length of the delivery box is 4 inches.

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
