The volume of a rectangular box is found by multiplying its length, width, and height: v = lwh. a certain box has a volume of b3 + 3b2 - 4b - 12. factor the four-term polynomial to find the dimensions of the box. hint: use factoring by grouping to factor the four term polynomial first.

  length, width, and height are (b+2), (b-2), (b+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Doing what the problem statement tells you to do, you get ...

  (b^3 +3b^2) -(4b +12)

  = b^2(b +3) -4(b +3) . . . . . factor each pair of terms

  = (b^2 -4)(b +3) . . . . . . . . . write as a product

  = (b -2)(b +2)(b +3) . . . . . . use the factoring of the difference of squares

The three factors are (b-2), (b+2), and (b+3). We have no clue as to how to associate those with length, width, and height. We just know these are the dimensions of the box.

all the angles opposite to the angle 150 would be 150 and all the angles that are next to 150 are 30 because they equal 180 it you add it up.
