how do you figure out the length, width and height of a box with a volume of 570 cm3 and a surface area of 478 cm2.

Question

MathMate · Accepted Answer

Did the question indicate that the dimensions are in integral centimetres?

If so, you only have to figure out the factors of 570, which are
2,3,5,19

Out of these, take any 2 for dimensions, and take the product of the 2 remaining factors as the third dimension.

I tried
5,6(=2*3), and 19 to get
volume = 5*6*19=570,
surface area = 2*(5*6+5*19+6*19)=478

its basically just 5 by 6 by 19
