You want the volume of the box to be 2 cubic inches

What are the possible side lengths of the box? How many solutions did the equation have? Were all the solutions a possible side length of the box? Explain.

Mark M.

What equation?

No idea. I was only told to use polynomial long division to find the solutions after finding the rational solution.

 If you have a cube, one side will equal cubic root of 2.


If all three sides are different, for ex, 1.25 x1.25x 1.28 = 2


I think, could be many solutions.

But then the volume would be 8 instead of 2, right?
