- Finding Dimensions At a glassware factory, molten cobalt glass is poured into molds to make paperweights. Each mold is a rectangular prism whose height is 3inches greater than the length of each side of the square base. A machine pours 20cubic inches of liquid glass into each mold. What are the dimensions of the mold?arrow_forwardGirth of a Box A box with a square base has length plus girth or 108 in. (Girth is the distance "around" the box.) What is the length of the box if its volume is 2200 in3?arrow_forwardFalling-Body Problems Use the formula h=16t2+v0t discussed in Example 7.
