A gift bag shaped like a rectangular prism has a volume of 1152 cubic inches. The dimensions of the gift bag in terms of its width are shown. The height is greater than the width. What are the dimensions of the gift bag?

length: in.
width: in.
height: in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gift bag is shaped in a rectangular prism.

              rectangular volume: length * width * height

( 2w + 4 ) ( w ) ( 18 - w ) = 1152

( 2w² + 4w ) ( 18 - w ) = 1152

-2w³+32w² +72w = 1152

-2w³+32w² +72w - 1152 = 0

w = 16 , -6 , 6

w = 16 , 6

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
