Answer 1

8 inches

Then you find what number is 2 less than the other number that is you multiplied together you get 80

And we know that 8 × 10 = 80

There for the :-

Width is 8 in

Length is 10 in

Hight is 3 in

The proof is if you multiply all of them you have to get 240

And if you multiply 8, 10, and 3 you get 240
