Answer:
19 x 23.5 x 4
Step-by-step explanation:
4 * x * (x + 4.5) =1800
Divide both sides by 4
x * (x + 4.5) = 450
Use distributive property
x^2 + 4.5x = 450
Move all terms to one side
x^2 + 4.5x - 450 = 0
Use quadratic formula to solve a = 1, b = 4.5, c = -450
-4.5 +- [tex]\sqrt{4.5^2 - 4 * 1 * -450}[/tex]/2
=-4.5 + - [tex]\sqrt{1820.25}[/tex] / 2
= -4.5 +- 42.664 / 2
=19.08 and -23.582. You can't have a negative length, so it is 19.08, or 19
19 x 23.5 x 4
