The volume of the rectungular prism is
.
Height of the tunnel is
feet more than
of its width, hence height
.
Length of the tunnel is
feet more than
times of its width,
.
Subustiute these values into the equation for volume of the tunnel
.


The volume of the tunnel is
cubic feet.
Subustiute
in the equation
and solve for
.

The obtained polynomial equation is
.
The above polynomial has
sign variation. so , it has
positive real zero.
Graph :
Draw the coordinate plane.
Graph the function

Synthetic Division:
The function is
.
Perform the synthetic division method by testing
.

must be a positive value because ,the above polynomial has
sign variation. so , it has
posotive real zero.
Since
only has
positive real zero.Width of the tunnel is
feet.
Therwfore width of the tunnel , 
feet.
Height of the tunnel,
.
Length of the tunnel is
.

Width of the tunnel is 
feet.
Height of the tunnel is
feet.
Length of the tunnel is
feet.
