If the areas of three of the faces of a rectangular solid are 6, 10 an

Thank you.

But I feel that your method is a little “trial and error” method.

Sasindran , perhaps I was not clear. Or perhaps you misunderstood what I meant.

Your approach to this problem is vastly superior to mine. You were shrewd. I did not catch the algebraic connection. (Not good!)

And that meant I had to resort to finding the common side. I got lucky. As I mentioned, the numbers were easy. I will choose shrewd over lucky every time.

I put my method there for one reason only: I have seen questions where edge length must be found, and the only way to find edge length involves finding common sides. Those questions look a lot like this one.

That was my mistake. Your good work taught me that I got complacent. Here, yours is by far the better way, IMO.

Nice work.

(And next time, at least from me, please assume the best. If I go out of my way to name you in a compliment, that means I am thrilled to see someone do well and grateful to have learned something.) Cheers.

Thanks and good luck to you too
