Problema Solution
An aquarium holding African Nicholas is 4 in higher than it is wide. It's length is 28 in, & it's volume is 8960 cubic in. What are the height and width of the aquarium?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the width, x>0
x + 4 = the height
28 in = the length
V = 8,960 in^3
V = width*length*height
x(x + 4)*28 = 8960
by solving we find:
x = 16 in

16 + 2 = 20 in
the width is 16 inches.
the height is 20 inches.
