= 3x(x - 4)
= 3 × x(x - 4)
Also volume = Length × Breadth × Height
$\therefore$ Possible expression for dimensions of cuboid are = 3, x, (x - 4)

(a + b + c) = 9, ab + bc + ca = 40,
Then we have (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca) (9)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2.(40) a2 + b2 + c2 + 80 = 81 a2 + b2 + c2 = 81 - 80 a2 + b2 + c2 = 1$=\big(\sqrt{2}\text{a}\big)^3+\big(\sqrt{3}\text{b}\big)^3+\text{c}^3-3\times\sqrt{2}\text{a}\times\sqrt{3}\text{b}\times\text{c}$

$=\big(\sqrt{2}\text{a}+\sqrt{3}\text{b}+\text{c}\big)\big(2\text{a}^2+3\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2-\sqrt{6}\text{ab}-\sqrt{3}\text{bc}-\sqrt{2}\text{ac}\big)$
$\therefore2\sqrt{2}\text{a}^3+3\sqrt{3}\text{b}^3+\text{c}^3-3\sqrt{6}\text{abc}$

Let (a - 3b) = x, (3b - c) = y, (c - a) = z
x + y + z = a - 3b + 3b - c + c - a = 0
$\because$ x + y + z = 0
$\therefore$ x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz
$\therefore$ (a - 3b)3 + (3b - c)3 + (c - a)3
= 3(a - 3b)(3b - c)(c - a)
= x3 - 12x2 + 48x - 64
= (x)3 - 3 × x2 × 4 + 3 × 42 × x - 43 $\big[\because$ a3 - 3a2b + 3ab2 - b3= (a - b)3$\big]$ = (x - 4)(x - 4)(x - 4) $\therefore$ x3 - 12x(x - 4) - 64 = (x - 4)(x - 4)(x - 4)$=\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{x}\Big)^3+(1)^3+3\times\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{x}\Big)^2\times1+3(1)^2\times\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{x}\Big)$
$=\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{x}+1\Big)^3$$\big[\because$ a3 + b3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 = (a + b)3$\big]$
$=\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{x}+1\Big)\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{x}+1\Big)\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{x}+1\Big)$
$\therefore\frac{8}{27}\text{x}^3+1+\frac{4}{3}\text{x}^2+2\text{x}$
$=\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{x}+1\Big)\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{x}+1\Big)\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{x}+1\Big)$
