Concept explainers
To write: A polynomial equation that models the prism’s volume. What are the prism’s dimensions?
The prism’s volume equation would be
Given information:
A rectangular prism has edges of lengths
Formula used:
Volume of rectangular prism is length times width times the height.
Calculation:
The volume of the box would be product of all its sides as:
Now use
Upon graphing the above function, the graph would look like as shown below:
It is visible that the graph crosses the x -axis at
Length of the box would be:
Width of the box would be:
Therefore, the dimensions of the prism will be about
