No need to show your work, just give me the solution.
A rectangular box has a volume of $4320$ cubic inches and a surface area of $1704$ square inches. The sum of the lengths of its $12$ edges is $208$ inches. What would be the volume of the box, in cubic inches, if its length, width and height were each increased by one inch?
w = width
l = length
h = height
Volume:
V = w ∙ l ∙ h = 4320
Surface area:
SA = 2 ( w ∙ l + l ∙ h + h ∙ w ) = 1704
Sum of the lengths:
SL = 4 ( w + l + h ) = 208
System of equations:
w ∙ l ∙ h = 4320
2 ( w ∙ l + l ∙ h + h ∙ w ) = 1704
4 ( w + l + h ) = 208
Solution:
w = 24 in , l = 18 in , h = 10 in
New volume:
Vn = ( w + 1 ) ∙ ( l + 1 ) ∙ ( h + 1 )
Vn = ( 24 + 1 ) ∙ ( 18 + 1 ) ∙ ( 10 + 1 )
Vn = 25 ∙ 19 ∙ 11 = 5225 in³
OMG great
To solve this problem, let's first find the dimensions of the original rectangular box.
Let's assume that the length, width, and height of the original box are represented by $l$, $w$, and $h$ respectively.
We can start by using the given information:
1) The volume of the box is given as $4320$ cubic inches, so we have:
\[l \cdot w \cdot h = 4320\]
2) The surface area of the box is given as $1704$ square inches, so we have:
\[2lw + 2lh + 2wh = 1704\]
3) The sum of the lengths of the $12$ edges is given as $208$ inches, so we have:
\[4l + 4w + 4h = 208\]
Now, we can solve this system of equations to find the dimensions of the original box.
From equation (3), we have:
\[l + w + h = 52\]
Now, we can substitute this value into equation (2) to get:
\[2lw + 2lh + 2wh = 1704\]
\[2(lw + lh + wh) = 1704\]
Substituting the value from equation (1) for $lw \cdot lh \cdot wh$, we get:
\[2(4320) = 1704\]
\[8640 = 1704\]
This equation is not possible. There must be an error in the given values or the problem statement. Please double-check the numbers and try again.
