Answer 1

Explanation:

Given

Length of the base of the rectangular box
`= 2x +5`

Width of the base of the rectangular box
`= x`

Area of the base of the rectangular box

`= (2x + 5)(x)\\= 2x^2 + 5x`

a) Given

Area of the base of the rectangular box
`= 58` square centimeter

It can also be written as

`2x^2 + 5x = 58\\2x^2 + 5x - 58 = 0`

b) See the attached image

c) Volume

Base Area * height

`58 * (x-2)`

`x = -1.25 + (22.11)/(4) \\x = 4.27`

Volume
`= 58 * 4.27 = 248.09` cubic centimeter
