Pg 487 (419) - Q21

 Since you already know the product of j and k, all you need to know is the value of L.  If you know the dimensions are all integers, then j and k must equal 7 and 3 because they are the only integers greater than 1 whose product is 21.  You know that one of those values (7 or 3) multiplied by L = 30.  Again, because they are all integers, it would have to be 3 because it goes into 30 evenly:

3 (L ) =30
L = 10

Now you can multiply the base area (21) and the height (10):

 210
