Answer:

  • Given below.

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

[tex]-2\left(w-16\right)\left(w+6\right)\left(w-6\right)=0[/tex]

w = 16 , -6 , 6

w = 16 , 6

  • length = ( 2w + 4 ) = 36 inch , 16 inch
  • width =  ( w ) = 16 inch , 6 inch
  • height = ( 18 - w ) = 2 inch , 12 inch
