I'm really bad at this kind of math-- sorry
16. (10 pts) A wooden block has rectangular faces and sides of lengths L, W, and H. The faces have areas of 18.7 cm^2, 38.5 cm^2, and 23.8 cm^2 as shown. Find the lengths of the sides. Show your calculations.
thank you so much!!! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
W * L = 38.5
W * H = 18.7
L * H = 23.8
------------------
W = 18.7 / H
L = 23.8 / H
------------------
W * L = 38.5
(18.7 / H)(23.8 / H) = 38.5
H = 3.4 cm
W = 18.7 / H = 5.5 cm
L = 38.5 / W = 7 cm
