Reasoning
If we call the height H, the width W and the depth D we have:
H x W = 800
H = 800 ÷ W (1)
W x D = 720
W = 720 ÷ D (2)
H x D = 360
H = 360 ÷ D (3)
Using (1) and (3) we have:
800 360
——— = ———
W D
800 x D = 360 x W
Using (2):
800 x D = 360 x 720
———
D
800 x D2 = 259,200
D2 = 324
D = 18
Using (2), W = 40.
Using (1), H = 20.
