A cuboid has dimensions: width = x+1, length = 2x-2, height = x+2. Work out the volume of this cuboid. Give your answer in terms of x.

Volume of cuboid = width x length x heightV = (x + 1)(2x - 2)(x + 2)
For simplicity, multiply the first 2 sets of brackets first. Then multiply the result by the third set of brackets.Note: for multi...
