Jamie is constructing shipping containers for a sporting goods store. The containers are to be rectangular prisms. The first container Jamie constructs will be used to ship baseballs. It will have a width of (x) ft, a length of (x+8)ft and a height of (x-4) ft. It’s volume will be 135ft^3
Activity 1 of 2: Write a function “V” for the volume of the container. Write an equation to find one possible width for the container.
Activity 2 of 2: find the possible rational solutions of the equation from activity 1. Are the solutions viable? Explain.
