Q:

A pizza parlor uses square prisms for their pizza boxes. Due to the crust rising, the height of their boxes is always 2 inches. Additionally, the volume of the pizza box must be 450 cubic inches to fit their standard-sized pizza. A worker determined that the equation below could be used to find the side length, x, of the box needed to reach that volume.

A:
Answer:A pizza parlor uses square prisms for their pizza boxes. Due to the crust rising, the height of their boxes is always 2 inches. Additionally, the volume of the pizza box must be 450 cubic inches to fit their standard-sized pizza. A worker determined that the equation 2Γ—2 = 450 could be used to find the side length, x, of the box needed to reach that volume.Determine which statement is true about the solutions to the equation.A.The solutions are -30 and 30 but only 30 is a reasonable side length.B.The solutions are -30 and 30 and both are reasonable side lengths.C.The solutions are -15 and 15, but only 15 is a reasonable side length.D.The solutions are -15 and 15 and both are reasonable side lengths.
