Area = length x width.
24 = (x + 2)(x - 3) = x² - x - 6
x² - x - 30 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
We can eliminate the root x = - 5 because dimensions cannot be negative. So, the only valid answer is x = 6
The length = x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8 in.
The width = x - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3 in.

Answer:
Yes!
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume becomes 1/3 of the original. With a rectangular base, volume of a pyramid is V=(length*width*height)/3. Cutting the height to 1/3 of the original length will make the total volume 1/3 of the original volume.
