A rectangular box is completely filled with dice. Each dice has a volume of 1 cm³. The length of the box is 3 cm greater than its width and its height is 5 cm. Suppose the box holds at most 140 dice. What are the possible dimensions of the box?​

Answer»

ANSWER:

Dimensions, W+3, w, 5

Volume, 140 CUBIC centimeters

5w%28w%2B3%29=140

w%28w%2B3%29=28

Factors for 28 may be 1&28, 2&14, 4&7.

 

The 4 & 7 factorization looks LIKE the right one.

system%28w=4%2Cw%2B3=7%29

Width, 4 cm
