A rectangular prism must have a base with an area of no more than 27 square meters. The width of the base must be 9 meters less than the height of the prism. The length of the base must be 6 meters more than the width of the base. Find the maximum height of the prism.Let x = the height of the prismx – 9 =
The width is 9 meters less than the height. If the height is x meters, the width is x − 9 meters, so x − 9 represents the width of the base. The correct choice is “the width of the base.”
