A dumpster in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 240 cubic feet. The length of the dumpster is 4 feet less than twice the width w, and the height is 1 foot less than the width.Find the equation, in terms of w, that could be used to find the dimensions of the dumpster in feet.
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:240 = w (2w − 4) (w − 1)Step-by-step explanation:Volume of a rectangular prism is width times length times height.V = wlhGiven:V = 240l = 2w − 4h = w − 1Substituting:240 = w (2w − 4) (w − 1)
