A pizza company is building a rectangular solid box to be able to deliver personal pan pizzas. The pizza company wants the volume of the delivery box to be 756 cubic inches. The length of the delivery box is 6 inches less than twice the width, and the height is 2 inches less than the width. Determine the width of the delivery box.

Respuesta :

The width of the delivery box is 9 inches.

Given that  volume of delivery box is 756 cubic inches,length is 6 inches less than twice the width, height is 2 inches less than width.

let width be x

Length = 2x- 6

Height = x - 2

Width = x

We can find the value of x by putting values one by one and then we will be able to get the value of  x which is width.

Because the delivery box is cuboid in shape so the volume is equal to product of length,breadth and height.

When x=7: Volume=7 x (7 - 2) x (2x7 - 6) = 7 x 5 x 8 = 280

When x=9,Volume will be 9 x (9 - 2) x (2x9 - 6) = 9 x 7 x 12 = 756

Therefore, the width of the delivery box is 9 inches.

Hence the width of the delivery box is 9 inches.
