In the given problem, apply your knowledge in algebra and basic mathematics specially in solving volume of rectangular prism.
Given and It's Mathematical Equation
Rectangular packaging box is 73dm^3 more than the volume of a cube packaging box.
Vrectangular = 73 dm³ + Vcube
Vcube = s³
Vrectangular = lwh
→ lwh = s³ + 73 dm³
The length of the rectangular box is 1dm longer than twice the edge of the cube.
l = 2s + 1
Its height is 2dm shorter than the length of the edge of the cube.
h = s - 2
Width is 1dm longer than the cube’s edge.
w = s + 1
Solution
lwh = s³ + 73
(2s+1)(s-2)(s+1) = s³ + 73
(2s+1)(s²-s-2) = s³ + 73
2s³-2s²-4s+s²-s-2 = s³ + 73
2s³ - s² - 3s - 2 = s³ + 73
s³ - s² - 3s - 75 = 0
Solve for s using synthetic division.
s³ + s² - 2s - 74 = 0
s1 = 4.83245
s2 = -1.91622 + i * 3.44212
s3 = -1.91622 - i * 3.44212
Use the positive solution.
s = 4.83
w = s + 1 → w = 5.83
h = s - 2 → h = 2.83
l = 2s + 1 → l = 10.66
Answer
Dimension of a cube is 4.83 dm.
Dimension of a cube is 4.83 dm.Dimension of a rectangular box is 5.83 dm by 2.83 dm by 10.66 dm.
