    It could be a few of them.

    How you figure it out is by finding 3 numbers that when multiplied together equal 120.

    So for example you could do 2x3x20

    3x4x10

    1x1x120

    5x2x12

    And there are many more. Any of the above would work. Hope I helped.

    An infinite number of dimensions are possible, as long as the length times width times height equals 120.

    A few examples:

    1 by 1 by 120

    2 by 3 by 20

    6 by 4 by 5

    Volume of rectangular prism = 120

    Length * Width * Height = 120

    So, there are infinite possible dimensions.

    A few of them are:

    1 * 1 * 120 = 120

    2 * 5 * 12 = 120

    And even ones involving decimals, like 2.323121 * 9.23231 * 5.594986419 = 120 !

    I hope that helps. :)

    There is not a unique answer. If the dimensions are a by b by c then:

    abc = 120

    Pick some numbers. It could be

    3 by 4 by 10

    and there are an infinite number of other possibilities.

    A cardboard container created from 6 oblong factors might have 2 factors of the container having 2 equivalent aspects. Eg. the part of the precise floor of the container = part of the backside floor of the container. with that argument, basically upload 2 x [(length) x (width)] + 2 x [(width) x (intensity)] + 2 x [(length) x (intensity)] => 2(8 x 5) + 2(5 x 3) + 2(8 x 3) = 158 cm^2

    There are infinite possible dimensions.

    Some are

    1x1x120

    2x2x30
