The figure below shows a rectangular prism and a cube: A rectangular prism and a cube are drawn side by side. The length of the rectangle prism is 4 inches, the width is 3 over 4 inch, and its height is 1 and 2 over 4 inches. The cube has a side length of 1 over 4 inch.

How many such cubes are required to completely pack the prism without any gap or overlap?

help me plz

the anwser is x< -17/2

the diagram shows you   triangle def with de=4, df=9 and de≠df≠ef.

the sum of the lengths of two triangles' sides are always greater than the length of the third side:

substitute sides lengths:

then 5< ef< 13 (option 3 is true).

def is a scalene triangle with all sides of different lengths (option 5 is true, option 2 is false).

answer: correct choices are 1, 3 and 5
