Asked by maggie

You are going to build a glass box. The length of the box is 8 inches more than the width and the height is half the length. The length of the wire to make the frame is 108 inches.
1.What are the dimensions of the box?
2.All six faces of the box will be panes of glass. What is the total area of the glass needed for the six faces?
3.What is the volume of the box?
Answered by Reiny
width ---- x
length ---- x+8
height = x/2 + 4

framing consists of 4 lengths, 4 widths, and 4 heights (make a sketch to see)

4x + 4(x+8) + 4(x/2 + 4) = 108
4x + 4x + 32 + 2x + 16 = 108
10x = 60
x = 6
