The front, side, and bottom faces of a rectangular solid have areas of 24 square cm, 8 square cm, and 3 square cm, respectively. What is the volume of the solid, in cubic centimeters? :?: :?: :?:
 
The sides are a, b & c
That gives three equations in three unknowns.
ab=24
ac=8
bc=3
 
The first step might be dividing
ac/bc = a/b = 8/3
That gives two equations in two unknowns.
 
Better check your work.
ab=24=4*3??????????????
and don't forget you are after the volume.

Thanks again
I think I know where I made the mistake
is a=8, b=3, c=1?
